What is this brown growth on my stems?

Damn. Looks like some sort of blisters. I never seen that before. Could the humidity be building water under the stems? It could be some sort of fungus.

I thought it was fungus but like I said when I scratch it it doesn't come off and the scratched place reveals plant material underneath as if it's the plant. I ripped one of the rockwool cubes open and I have fungus gnat larvae too so idk.

The plants could have broke ever so little and maybe that's natures cast?
I also thought that because it kind of looks like knuckling formed by extreme supercropping but these are obviously not extreme supercropped. They don't look damaged in any way.

Here's a pic of my previous grow with the brown knuckling when you get a little too aggressive with your supercropping lol. I forgot the twisty tie in there when I used it to support the stem from breaking and it consumed it lol

What did you use for a rooting hormone? (giggle)

That's odd "extra" growth formations from the hormone you used. The little buggers will be fine.

the organism that causes root rot is called pythium, if you have a cutting with no roots yet and it gets pythium, it makes the stem swell like that. if it eats everything it can in the res and dies off, your cutting can bounce back, but thats what makes the stem swell like that

you think so? i use straight IBA-K and don't get that
Yeah, it's a classic response to some rooting hormones... It's just another way the plant is expressing it. Like the heavy, thick stems that they can get also..... Some have mix's and I like to use one I make my self with a rooting powder and Willow water...... I get big bumpy fat stems on the lower part of the stem and it goes up, into where they weren't treated too...

He simply has a strain that is carrying over a trait to. I used to see that in cloned "woody stemmed" plants too....

Thanks Doc! Yeah, I don't know what rooting product was used.

your cubes are very wet
I think I just fed them. But could explain why I found a fungus gnat larvae. I've been letting them dry out so they are very dry now I need to go feed them right now. As well as hit them with some h2o2, and dunk them to get rid of the thrips.

MAN...getting clones from ppl sucks. I've been searching for decent clones for the past 4 months....yeah. I cleaned every square inch of my rooms with bleach and refuses to get any contaminated cuttings. Everyone has bugs or PM or both. I returned 40 a month ago because they were infested. Finally I gave up and I'm just going to deal with it. Shit, I should just start cloning. Seeing as to how everyone fuckin sucks at it I'd have plenty of demand lol.
