Small plants falls over

[east_side]

Hey, i have a new strain in my room and it seems ase they grow biger and healthier, they are not very sterdy. They look awsome but they fall right over if we tuch them.

Is this comon for some strain? Should i put a stick in the so to save it from falling when i put them to flower?

Thanks

How tall are they? If they are decent size i would suggest putting a small oscillating fan in the room on the lowest setting until they start to get stronger and support them with a bamboo stake. If they are smaller seedlings so the same thing put onstead of a big bamboo stake try using a plastic fork with the handle in the medium and the fork part sticking out. Then you can set the seedling so the stem is propped up with that.

They'r about 10" tall, i never had to put any kind of support before, i wonder if its something i did wrong it could just be the strain

yeah man, you don't mention whether you're talking about seedlings or mature plants so advising you is difficult.

...adding a fan as Tyga suggests is a great idea and for more than just that the air movement stimulates stronger stems, ...and if they ARE mature plants then you should add silica to your feeding regimen as well.

btw Tyga, another good 'stake' for seedlings is the plastic stirring straws you get with your coffee, and like your fork, it won't mold up on you.

Please describe your light source. Type of light? Wattage? Sounds like it's stretching for light.

hiya, as other posters have said and the above, tie her to a stake,not too tight on the stem, get yourself a desk top oscillating fan as pictured and could be you need more lamp/ power for this new strain, sure all will be ok, you might want post some more details as people will likely to be more accurate with more info, good luck, peace and safe growing s2

I have 1000w's 18" over all of them, i also have fans on them, its falls over right at soil level, it seams like the roots dosent hold it up to good! I had a algae problem in the first 2 weeks.

I will get some stiks to hold them strait if it becomes worst! If im careful when i water its not a problem

if your plants are 10" SEEDLINGS and not clones then that 1000watts is WAY overkill.

...have you got any pictures? ...people can help you a whole lot more specifically if they can SEE what you describe, ...i'm certain at least one of us has dealt with whatever it is you're having an issue with.
