  1. okay my plant i moved the plant's stem to much and the plant is wobbly and it can't stand. i tied it to a pencil to help it stand will it live for not ?
     
  2. I think Im a little confused. What do you mean... you moved the stem too much?? Did you bend it and now it just falls over? Or is it just soo skinny that it cant support its weight and falls over??

    If you bent it, then your good. People do that on purpose. Its called super cropping. Just get a piece of tape and loosely put it on the plant. It will grow bath thicker and stronger.

    If your plant is too skinny and cant support its weight, then you have a light problem. You need more light or you need to move your lights closer to your plant. As close as possible without burning them.
     
  3. Your plant is probably stretching. Maybe you need a stronger light
     
  4. i agree, a plant shouldnt be affected by touching, unless its flowering. if you are stretching your stem will just not be able to support the weight.

    how old is your plant and how tall is it?
