The plant has righted itself and is growing vertically and normally, if you are worried about it place a stake beside the plant for additional support, but from what i can see the stem is supporting the plant ok.

When the plant goes into flowering you might have to support the buds.

I personally feel that the stem will thicken and be ok but i would still tie it to a stake to be on the safe side.

Out of interest, how did it grow when it first popped out of the medium, just curious?.

[Guest elefunk_delivers]

When it grew outta the medium.. it was very thin and the leaves kept it shut for about a week.. an then it was bumped and caused it to sit on that angle..

 

my concern is that a few friends have grown outdoors and had very skinny plants with a small leafage.. and basicly no budd...

and i didnt really want the last of my white widow seeds to get trashed like this..

 

thanx for your help again

much respect

If your worried about loosing the strain wait until it starts branching and clone a couple of the lower branches.

It's healthy, maybe increase the height of the media a touch but otherwise leave it alone.

Gday dudes:

 

I've seen this problem before, especially with hydro plants. Happens outdoors as well.

 

Because there's no wind indoors, the plants can get tall without needing a very strong stem.

 

Outdoors if you rush your plants you get long immature stems with lots of foliage.

 

Problem being, when those buds get nice and heavy, and you get a bit of nasty autumn weather, the branches snap!!!

 

Fortunately, since Cannabis Sativa is also the hemp plant, all you need to do is give the stems a good shake everytime your wasting time sitting idly next to it.

 

That way the plant grows thick robust stems and can handle heavy buds at the end of season.

 

Cheers growers
