Plant stem thickening [QUESTION]

[calvinjones1200]

Im just curious when does my plant stem start to thicken? I have two plants and one of them is now 6 days old and the other is 5 days old. It seems this morning both seedling are now in vegetative stage with the first set of Other leaves growing out.


Lol here is my grow room(in my closet) and ehh i also over watered one of them

They won't unless you got a light breeze in them. The wind is what makes the stem thick and strong

Keep a breeze on them to keep them moving, they will thicken up.

these jokers are partially right, indeed a breeze is what encourages a thick stem, however if you want to 'make' one use a warm light, 2700k as this is what encourages vertical growth, as per the 6500k, cool white makes horizontal growth

Alright so Add a 2700K cfl with my 6500k Lights and a breeze and i should be ok?

Maybe that's why my plants grow so bushy. I run an LED but maybe it puts more out on one side of the spectrum than the other.

your setup looks like a fire hazard with all that cardboard etc..

I dont think it really is because CFL's dont get that hot and I can touch the aluminum pan without getting burned and my CFls run to 5am to 10pm
