nice new setup, you might want to add dirt up to the first set of leafs that might make the stem more stable and less likely to bend

Don't worry to much around day 18 stems will start to harden and they don't seem to fall or tip after that.

i tihnk the adding soil would help....but just now i just put some straws next to the stems and twist tied them...but im gonna take them off in like a week...

if u can bury the streached stem then do it up to jus below the first node.

poon · Sep 4, 2008

i got more soil and filled it up...but i think when i poked some straws down i damaged some roots...cause the first leaves are like limp...and i cut one of them...so sad ='(

mr west · Sep 4, 2008

maybe straws wasnt a good idea, sorry for ya loss

i know people that use 2 hooks or hangers and they hook one end around the stem and then the other part of the hook on the pot and then do the same for the otherside... so that its pulling or pushing on both sides to stand in the middle, it also helps the plant not fully 100% depend on the support making it easier to take the support out. i wish i had a pic to show you what i mean but if you need more detail just let me know and i will try... everyone that i know got great results and thicker stems..

I used to use colored paper clips to lst when clones were really small.. I'd just unfold them except for the last fold, then I could mold that end to serve any stem holding needs.. The plants never seemed to mind the jab from something that small when I pegged them in..

its good...they recoved

mr west · Sep 6, 2008

mr west · Sep 7, 2008
