Check Out My Plant Please

It looks fine to me but your soil looks a bit dry. a good way to strengthen the stem is to put a breeze on it like a fan. but over all it looks damn good

 

I think it looks good too, but maybe lower the light a bit so it isnt stretching so far to get to it. If you cant lower the light than raise the plant. But it looks great

How often are you watering it?? And if you cant put a fan near it, than everyday you can lightly move it to simulate a breeze, this will strengthen it alot.

Good luck!

 

What he said. What kind of light do you have on it and how far away is it?

 

Looks like I was a few minutes late on my first post.

Yeah your good. it looks healthy. keep the light at that height and everything should be good.

 

do you have just one cfl on it or two, me i would try to find like a balcony or somewhere kinda private near the house and set it outside for a couple hours a day to really boost it up. also i like to give my stem a little squeeze not to much just a little cause a good growing stem should be some what hard once you get your second set of true leaves.also a good sign is to look near the catelydon/embryotic leaves where the true leafs poke out and see if it is stretching apart. both are great signs of good stem growth.

 

By the sounds of it, the stretching is from a weak light intensity.

I ran an experiement once with a 24W full spectrum fluro that I have designated for cloning. I tried using it to start a few seeds once and they all stretched like crazy even though I had the light distanced about a 1/2 inch from the top.

There are a few methods for strength training. Have a breeze like Josh pointed out, tie the top of the plant down to bend the stem, or take your fingers and bend it back one way; a few days later after it recovers bend it the other way and repeat the process over and over again.

The safest way is to just use a breeze... and next time use a stronger light.

Peace

 

considering you have it in a styrofoam cup im assuming your going to transplant. so what you could do is just bury it a little bit more up the stem, root will develop from the covered area and you'll have a firmer root base. but i would really suggest getting a better lighting system sometimes putting it on a window seal is ten times better then a CFL but the plants tend to bend toward the window so i would suggest getting some envirolights from anywhere and setting up a scheme as in the book buds for less by see more buds.





I know This isn't my thread but how do you think my looks i know it's stretched alittle but its a mystery seed so i know nothing of it's genes but it seems to be a 40% sativa 60% indica its on its 30th day also eyez this was done by using a Envirolight setup i have now started it on a 12/12 cycle a couple days ago the stem broke in half cause someone through a blanket over it so i tyed it up using yarn and a pencil i would say this was grown in one of the worst possible condition (Thank god for miracle gro)

 

my advise is to just let it get a little bigger before you start worrying about it. at this point you really dont know if theres anything wrong with it because some seeds just grow better at the start than others.

 

there the little curly flourescent ones if you have a wallgreens or a dollar store near by most hardware stores have them as well

 

Your growing stem.
