I am on my first grow also, 9 days left! Learned a lot from this site or my girl might be dead. If you haven't put a fan in there and have it blow on low right on the plants, if not I have found the stalk gets weak and will fall over, will cause the plant to stress out alot, the one of mine that grew tall fast without a fan never did recover. Good Luck!

ok so my plants have been outside about 2 weeks now, one is chicken wired and doing well, this one however is not chicken wired as it is in a more obvious spot. what else will help this. a friend suggested crushed egg shells around the stalk?
