Put a small fan blowing on it...maybe wait on the cracked one. Will strengthen and fatten the stems.

Plants look ok, but I think you burned them with a nute overdose.. Try pinching to thicken and harden the stems...

:) yeah man it will heal and it will swell into a ball.. don't worry the plant will be fine and sometime experienced growers pinch their plants harder to "break" the stems just to train them to grow in diferent directions. For this I use LST tho'... I only pinch for strength :)

I snapped the heads off my babies trying to bend it over. Thought I screwed them but they turned out to be great. I should take some pictures. Its amazing how she heals herself. Usually will bend back up after pinching them within 24 hours.

I should he ready to harvest in about 4-5 weeks. Planted the seeds in September.

Does the OPer mind if I post? I thought that was high jacking the thread?

See. Smoking DOES make you paranoid :)

Here are a few I took 2-3 weeks ago. I will get new ones as soon as I have the house to myself for more than an hour :)

Those are 2 plants. Bubbalicuos from Nirvana. Went into the soil as seeds September 11 went under 2-150 watt HPS lights around October 30th? I have had them under 12/12 since about the second week.

The plant on the left side has an interesting stalk If you look down the center, you can see the bottom piece split into 4 where I broke it trying to bend it.

Not bad for some seeds I thought were toast. This turned into an experiment worth while for me.

I don't think this is a good idea at all! these are still seedlings, why the hell are you hurting them? JUst lest them be... if anything transplant into bigger pots...Get yourself a good book, try the marijuana grow bible by Greg Green... Nowhere in that 500 page book does it mention doing this to your plants!
Books books books, I've read so many books, and when I finally started growing I noticed how much I really DON'T know. Pinching is a GREAT way to improve your plant's growth. It's not the same to have a weak stem that barely holds your flower, or have a big thick stem where the nutes and everything travels efficiently and helps with the overall development of the plant.

Tell me this is wrong: IMG_0494.jpgIMG_0498.jpg

The plants are 30 days old from seed
