Hey world,

Basically I've always wondered between the yields that I have ran how big of an issue the size of the stem was. Mainly because I've had average stems that yielded alright results and I've had fat stems that were more developed and benefited me greatly. I've always wondered however was there a trick to getting the stems bigger in a more suitable fashion rather than just vegging for long periods of time. Usually the trick I used to force my stems to grow thicker is that I force alot of air on them and force the plant to support itself. This method does work but it is a gradual process. Any suggestions?

I grab them by the stem and shake them really hard throughout their lives, like a storm or hard wind would do. It toughens them up.

I use Power Si which is monosilicic acid, the form of silica that is readily bioavailable to the plants.
Regular silica takes days /weeks to break down so it takes a while to see the benefits which are minimal if at all.

This explains its.

Super crop them bitches.

Twist the stem until the inside pops. They'll repair bigger and stronger with better water flow.
