Alright so ive been growing a lowryder #2 for about a week now. it looks great but the stem is all fucked up. i wish i can take pics but for now ill draw it in Paint.

Heres how it looked like before




This is after i dug up the rest of the stem that should have been above the surface



do you think it will straighten out eventually? because it seems really weak right now and the leafs are growing fast. let me know what you think thx :joint:

could be a light problem. or something worse. It will start growing up soon as long as it is still trying to grow up. you could re plant and get the bend in soil so it it is heading up and not over

hold the stem straight and bury it with soil right up to the first set of leaves and you will be ok.

I had the same problem with on of my Hash Plants. It actually was 2 weeks behind her sisters, and when she did pop up she was a twisted sister, and did not grow very fast. The stem was bent and did not look to happy. Long story short, I buried her to the top. She did have little leaves forming on her lower stalk, but I chose to bury them as well. She was in a 2 gallon pot, and when she finally made her 5th node I transplanted to a 5 gallon bucket. Well she is now 4 weeks into flowering, it is funny because when I buried the small leaves they still grew OUT OF THE SOIL! It looks like 3 plants in the same bucket, lol. They are very resilient, more then we give them credit for. As long as you don't stress them, they will be fine. This is her now !

Yeah I know, I am just rying to give a little encouragement. Sometine good things come out of bad things, her sister is taller then her, but not as many nodes. She bushed out instead of growing tall. I read a forum on pruning for growth, she looks like that but was never even touched. The stem was real rubbery when she finally did grow out of the soil. But it stiffened up upon replanting, and being buried lower in the soil.

haha, they just wouldnt give up huh.
cool i feel alot better now, i think the reason why it turned out that way is cuz i didnt germinate them the typical way (paper towel) i just put the seed directly into the soil. ill make sure i dont do that next time.
