Long and thin stems

My seedling is about 2 weeks old and is healthy its about this big http://www.420magazine.com/gallery/data/500/GEDC0082.JPG (NOT MY PHOTO) but its stem is thinner I made a c02 thing with water sugar and yeast hope it goes well! and thanks for your help

2 weeks old probably streching for light can't tell without more info and picture. I would say the photo you linked is streched out too..... get light on it and a fan blowing on it the fan will strengthen up the stem. plants grow toward the light so if your light is too far it will strech to get closer

yeh its stretching serching for light. what light u use?

LEDS it really close to it and its growing good though just long stems and thin you think c02 will help? I cannot get a fan...

co2 isn't gonna help you. I have never grown with leds so I don't know much about them.do you have a fan on them

What does c02 do then? I though it promotes growth of the stems?

Anyone?^^ I thought c02 was good?

When you use co2 it has to be in a closed room and you have to pump the shit out of it. Best for flowering. Them co2 bags are gimics and the minute you turn a fan or open a door, poof its gone


One thing you have to master is patience.

co2 is good it speeds growth along a little makes happy healthy plants and when you use it you can handle a little higher temps but you also want to seal the room vent your light seperatly and get a tank with a regulator because lke kgp said it can be gone in the blink of an eye especially using yeast sugar or one of those other gimics. you want it at 1500ppm for best results and if you don't know what the ppm is in the air it is just a wast of time and energy. plants been growin happy and healthy for houndreds of years without co2 enrichment, yours will get by just fine without it. if you want thick stems keep a fan on the plant and keep the lights close as you can without burning the plants that is where your thick stem will come from, that and time

Co2 is a very important element in plants growth it is a must have, if exceeding whats naturals found in air (390ppm)will only benifit if all other conditions are ideal with co2 enrichment plant enjoy a higher temp of mid 80s to low 90s, but becaus you have noway of regulating or monitoring your concentration, I will not recommend you raising temps, co2 will not be benifical if your ph is off or if you are not feeding with proper ppm with your high quility nutes. co2 enrichment is vey benifical but if you have one problem co2 will not help. So needless to say you have to have a problem less grow. Hope this helps

ps. Co2 does help growth it helps all growth from stem to bud it allows the plant to speed up photosynthesis with increases rate of growth by up to 40%

Yeah bro but cmon a bit of yeast and water? you need a CO2 tank to see results. The problem is due to too much heat and not enough light.

the heat is mantained at the 75-85 degree range...

come to think of it, now, ive never seen in person an led grow but from the pictures I see of led grows they are all tall thin and spinley less money gets an hid for the same power consumption of a 500 dollar 435 watt led you could get a 400w hid an a\c unit and proper ventilation run it for 3 months and still comming in under what the led cost but maybe i'm old school, just don't see the benafit.

That's normal. After a month or so you should notice the stem coating its self with a wax like substance "naturally". Get a pencil or a stick to support the stem in the mean time.

And who is in the picture man. I got to know?

In the picture... A nazi leader.

Without a fan your stems are going to be weak and thin and your plant is most likely to die, you seed a constant flow of fresh air. If you cannot get a fan open your grow space periodically to get air flow and CO2.
