Many use the "hollow" to check their harvest to see if harvested too early/late. I use it as a double check- you will find that the stems' hollow diameter get's larger as the plant ages'. (meaning that up-take is decreasing) By the looks of your stalk - you harvested at a good point I all ways look at the stem after harvest to check my harvestI guess I’m ready to harvest ??? I have not one amber trichomes and my leaves will not turn colors during flush & just in time Spider mites just hitting my grow I found out my stock was hollow when I hosed my plants off and the gigantic bud just snapped the stalk Ethos Sour OG Cheese View attachment 901870View attachment 901871View attachment 901872View attachment 901869
Not all are Hollow. Der!!!!Der it's da tube for da nutes
I have 5 plants. Harvested 2. Same seeds , I was 1/2” like photo one toothpick hollow. Trichomes where identical.I guess I’m ready to harvest ???

I think it's genetic. This was a male (so certainly not potency or bud ripening involved).I harvested some autos that had hollow stems. Some of the best cannabis I’ve grown. Not sure if it’s a good Or bad thing though
I've been reading for some facts rather than opinions. Carbon, calcium and silica deficiency are the biggest factors according to my research of scientific facts rather than opinions.Sorry guys, hollow stems are usually a sign of low boron ratio vs nitrogen. Maybe try fertigating one consistently with B at .5-1 ppm and one without then compare. And yes be ready for Ca uptake to increase (add some, but not from 'cal-mag' which is more CaNO3). A Ca+B foliar might work faster for remedial use.
Put excessive potassium on that list also. Yes, I agree 100% that nutrients/light is by far the biggest factor in overall stem health. Hollow big stems, probably not an issue, maybe even a good thing. Hollow weak stems, a big problem....I've been reading for some facts rather than opinions.

Right on point frank! Anyone experiencing hollow week stems like some of the pics from the first pagePut excessive potassium on that list also.

Personally, I don't believe focusing on the hollow/not hollow aspect is productive, IMO. But looking at overall quality/health of the stems themselves in various developmental stages of life.
I really think having the ratio's dialed in correctly on this one is a huge factor here.
I lean towards lack of something important = hollow stems. Like calcium perhaps. So, excellent call on the gyp!Right on point frank! Anyone experiencing hollow week stems like some of the pics from the first pageget a bag of gypsum from CHN.
Love how all they say it’s normal and healthy lol
This is what you want. Don’t buy anything or amazon or elsewhere. A lot of bottle nutes over time will let your strains down making them weaker and weaker if your growing clones. This gypsum will get them back to being strong again. I usually dose 2 tsp per two gallon pot every week or two. You can also mix it in your solution at 2 tsp per gallon but it settles on the bottom pretty fast so needs to be stirred right before or during use.I lean towards lack of something important = hollow stems.

Not true in my experience.If you look closely indoor go hollow, outdoor stay solid
What in the ….I'd also guess that a tent with a fan pulling constant negative pressure (even though slight) around the stem's hollow pith would increase it's size...kinda like the cock pump principal
How much per gal of soil for top dress?Apparently some of you are not willing to give gypsum a try. I’ve fixed many of strains indoors that either over time of having them went hollow or they come hollow to me. It’s fixable.
The guy who turned me on to gypsum suggested the bottle nutes I use is the culprit to the hollow stems. After loading them with gypsum even my biggest gapers filled in.
