This is the first time i have grown indoor, and my stems are very small im afraid when the plants get bigger they will just fall over, any suggestions on fattening up my stems?

a good way to start is to put a fan in the room so that they get stronger from the wind like outside. but u might have to tie them up to something

Yes like Token said a good way to streghten the stems is geting a gentle breeze blowing on the plants and increase it as the plants get bigger (air circulation is very important) another way is to get more light, buy adding more lummens u´re acctually increasing plants growth not only in height but also in weight another way is to provide a large root area so don´t use small pots the bigger the roots grow the stronger the plant....there are many other things to consider like nutrients, water pH bla blla bla so what im trying to say is that if u keep all things in appropriate levels u will have no probs...i had plants we´re tiny fuckers compared to their huge sisters and they did just fine (some even better then the big ones that were usually males looll)

Try this it's not my idea but one I got from a fellow toker:

take a regular plastic straw, cut it to length of stem, just below first set of leaves, just slightly longer. slit the straw all the way from top to bottom.fold it back so it`s open, then place around the stem, slightly pushing down into the medium to hold it. it wont hurt your plant and will expand with the stem

if they start to fall over put a chop stick or something stable next to them and tie it to the plant, this way it will stand up straight, and you dont really need to worry about the strength of the stem
