How you doing everyone I have 15 plants outside and they are really getting big. I've got 8 in a 5 gallon smart pot and the other 7 in the ground. When I went to my grow spot earlyer this week I noticed that all my plants are leaning over a bit. They are around 2 months old and on there 6th-8th set of fan leaves(they would of been bigger but the weather kept changing from hot to cold so the got of to a slow start). But yea I was wondering if there was some organic ferts that I could use to make my plants stems stronger or more wide and robust so that they can support themselves a lot more? Any help is greatly needed:blsmoke::weed:

Try Hygrozyme. I have never used it myself but I hear it does wonders so, I did just order it. Also try bat guano and bone meal for natural ferts. What kind of grow medium are you using?

Any wind in your area? The stronger the breeze, the stronger ther trees.

Eight plants in one five gallon pot?

You'll get buds, whether one plant or eight.

I would watch for flowers, and as soon as you reach two confirmed females, remove the rest of the plants. JMHO

The plants in the ground will benefit from a heavy mulch. Worms and bacteria will break the mulch down into soluble organic nutes.

Blood meal, bone meal, fish and seaweed emulsions, wood ashes and compost will provide a rich environment for your plants.

Here is a site that can give you more details.

I used organic gardening methods for a couple decades. I was eventually convinced that moderate amounts of chemical fertilizers are appropriate in a nute mixture that includes organic nutrients.

The chemical fertilizers are usually analyzed precisely for content, unlike home made mixtures.

The chemical nutes are insurance against depletion of highly soluble nutrients like Nitrogen and Magnesium.

Give your plants a hard shake from the base of the stem each time you tend to them, to will make them stronger. An organic additive for the soil could be some egg shells, for calcium, or you could buy cal-mag, you probably need more nitrogen also.
