Help in growing stronger plants!
    #5290885 - 02/12/06 07:12 AM (18 years, 1 month ago)

Hello!

I have a problem with my plant. They grow very nicely, lots of leaves, branches and new growth, but their stems are weak. The plants cant support themselves and thus they need a stick to keep them straight.
Is it possible to make the stem grow thicker by suppressing the terminal growth?? My plants get 2x 30 watts fluoros as light.
Thanks,

Theido

You might need to put a fan on them when they are small to give the stems a workout and make them stronger.

What kind of fan would you suggest?? I tried a normal fan meant for indoor use, but it was way too strong.

don't use fert, can cause it to grow faster than normal so its stem can't keep up with the growth rate. more wind. wind causes little tears in the cells and when they heal it makes them ticker and stronger.
