You forgot to add the mold and possible groundhog lol. Did you know this is a 2 year old thread?? Thanks for that though, I appreciate the response. I never thought a groundhog could have been a culprit related to the stem problem. I actually just started a thread for my grow this year if you're bored and want to check it out. I would have rather planted them in the ground but could only do pots this season. Nothing too impressive, just a nice little personal stash, ya know. - http://forum.grasscity.com/outdoor-medical-marijuana-growing/1337667-samsara-love-potion-fem.html
