weak and thin stem, 250W DWC

Discussion in 'Sick Plants and Problems' started by akta, Mar 23, 2011.

  1. hi,
    its been a week since i put my seedling in my bubble bucket and its growing and thriving :)
    problem is though; the stem right above the rockwool cube is really thin and soft, about five or six millimeters. after that the stem thickens and starts to harden.

    how can this problem be solved?

    /d
     
  2. Are u able to bury it a bit deeper, without
    ripping up the roots ???

    Freak

  3. Wow, I've never heard of that, can you take any pictures?

    Perhaps if you put an oscillating fan on it, the lateral force on the weak point should cause the plant to bulk it out.

  4. it might be a stem rot. is the rockwool wet or dry?
     
  5. alright so this is what it looks like;

    the rockwool isnt wet or dry, it has some moist in it.
    good news though, today it was able to stand straight without any support. major improvement since it was laying flat the other day
     
  6. Its a trooper lol !!!

    Freak
    :smoke:
     
  7. i noticed the tape , looks like some of my handy work lol
    i could just be stoned but if there are chemicals on the sticky side wont that stem absorb them?
     
  8. theres no tape, its just the stem shedding :)
    we'll see how it looks in the morning
     
  9. told you i was stoned lol:smoke:
     
  10. id toss the plant something is majorly wrong with it and you dont want it spreading
     
  11. are you fuckin serious
    ok someone take his rep away lol
     
  12. you let me down i just gave you rep on your other post.

    dont keep shitty plants. they yield like shit and are a great place for disease to form. i dont know whats wrong with that thing but its f'd up and it will not produce well save your space for a healthy plant. its not old enough to get to attached to start a new one and hope it works out better.
     
  13. i read the post started by you do u have a grow journal that you would like to show. id like some proof that you grow and dont just tell other people how to do it.
     
  14. U are a jerk dude.
    And u are always negative in your posts, I have noticed.
    Thats not needed around here. U dont seem to fit in.

    I have a diagnosis, and a treatment that I'll recommend.
    I save these for special people just like u:

    IMO, u have a personality deficiency.
    U are full of toxins and they are causing
    great damage to your image. The only thing
    that will help is to back off of the bullshit,
    and your standoffish demeanour.

    A flush or two might also help.
    And its not the flush your thinkin bout.

    Dont bother writing a retort to me man, cuz youre ignored.

  15. word up
     
  16. I would say most definitely stem rot. put a fan on it, and if it falls over stake it up with a toothpick and a twisty tie thing...don't give up on her. good luck
     
  17. so whats the verdict? should i try keeping her or should i take a cutting and start over from that?
     
  18. stems can get thicker if you turn the fan up blowing on them... mine doubled in a week doing this
     
  19. The verse in my sig says it all...let nature take her course.
    She could be a potential beast.

    Freak

  20. just toss the plant it is young and you havent invested much in it. the choked stem will choke your yield. only use strong plants. weak plants arent worth saving.
