stem problem

calichakra · #1 (**permalink**) 08-17-2007, 03:26 PM

Okay, So this is my 1st grow, I believe I am on my way to greatness. My favorite plant has been leafing and growing well, but as of last night it the top has been sagging to about 10 O'clock. I spiked it overnight and it is still leaning this morning. My question is, does this always happen, will it straighten out? and are there any negative effects for spiking a plant (giant toothpicks and hemp rope loosely tied) for say a week?

Okay, so I was sitting and smoking a bowl with my friend hypothesizing what went wrong. and we decided I added full strength nutrients too soon(a newbie mistake) and the leaves are simply to heavy for the stem. My question now is, IS IT TO LATE? could I spike the plant for some time, change out my reservoir with a much weaker nutrient solution and let the stem catch up maybe? I realize this will stint the growth and harvest time, but I am really just experimenting and learning at this time and time is no factor.

We really need pics to have a shot at analyzing this plant.
We don't even know if it's a 1 week old or a 2 month old plant we're talking about.
