my plants stems are weak

i have a clone thats been in veg for almost three weeks now. i noticed that my leaves are looking pretty good but the stems are all drooping. looks like their too weak. im using a top drip emitter system with 2 20 watt t5 fluorescents and 1 75 watt compact fluorescent. i have it watering only once a day. any ideas? i will post a pic when i get home

Do you have air movement? Just my first thought.

Get a fan, need some stomata action happening!!

Yeah you need a fan bad.

blow the fan on the plants to strenthen their stem, this natrually occurs outside because of wind

you need to have a circular fan, the vibration in the stem that occur from air movement strengthen your stems so they will be able to hold the bud when they are heavier.

I dont think he's talkin about the STALK stem. I think he means the LEAF stems themselves.? the leafs look fine but are drooping down right Purple? Thats a result of over or underwatering. Shouldn't be hard to figure out which it is.
He said "A clone", and he said "stems are"

thanks everyone! i added some pics to help diagnose. currently i placed a fan in front of her just in case she needs it. but what do you guys think?

Not a problem the fan will fix. What kind of nutes r u useing? Do you need to water more?

Wish I had a good answer. Good luck.

After looking at the pics, I stand by what I said. To much water, which actually means not enough oxygen to the roots, and the leaves are heavy/waterlogged. It'll droop like that if its way to dry too.

i spray it with seltzer water every couple of hours. could that be why?
