That's one stretchy seedling, begging for more light, might need to slice a mcdonalds straw down the centre, top to bottom and wrap the straw around the stem
Yes , I just got an led don’t think it good enough . Sunshine here in England has more or less gone now , done well without light’s this summer outside , thought I would. Try and keep something going to keep me busy with something , not doing well . Will get stronger light for my next go with new seeds . I was waiting for some body to remark on skinny runt . Thanks mate

just make sure you dont leave the straw around stem too long, a week should be enough to thicken to stem
How does that thicken the stem ? I don’t mean to keep on , here it nearly midnight , what time do you have right now ? I’m guessing that you are not from uk , by the car pic you have there , I must say , I have enjoyed your advise .

Australia, it's thicken the stem by giving it time to grow, basically a safety measure, take the straw off when the stem fills the space inside of the straw

Love to go there , i’ve been about , but not Australia. I will look up why the straw does that , do you know the theory behind this ?

View attachment 4185647 hi to all , just thought I would put this pic here , only 2week’s old . Seem’s a little slow , by the size , our sun in uk is about gone now for this year , good while it lasted though . Grew a small one on my window ledge recently , I don’t really know what it was called as I found 5 seed’s in a small amount I aquired jan 2017 . I put them on top of my radio and left them there , decided to put 2 in a pot each , may ‘ this year , cut a long story short , put 1 in mate’s garden , and grew other on window ledge . Cut the top when it was flowering , it got to 17 cm high , and had 13 whopping great bud’s on it . It was better taste and smoke than the weed it came from . This pic , I put on window ledge just to take picture . I will now put it under a small led , first time doing this , day’s are getting darker here very fast , so I thought I would try led . Don’t do lights as a rule , so a bit of a contradiction going on here with me, as I am organicus , lol thank’s
The pic on my profile thingy is the one on this page here. To be honest , I should not have planted this seed on window , this time of year . Thing is , I have had easy growing through the summer, but I put this one on 9 August , so as a result , it stretched , looking for the sun. Here I have only 1 small led , and I don’t think it will do that well . Ah well , shit happen’s I guess. Later friend’s .

Went to mc ds , and picked up 3 straw’s , so I took your good advice .
Put them in my bike jacket pocket , drove back home and low and behold the mucker’s had blown out from my pocket . so made a cardboard straw like thing , so all good mate .

Hi to all , yeah it’s been a good day , this stem’s from the other day when I made a spelling mistake , after that I got a message saying , maybe you should learn to spell precious properly .
I use their straws to clean my downstems in my rigs aswell, works wonders, get mad looks from peoples when you go into mcdonalds and take atleast 50 straws
it was just as well I only took three , because likely , all of the straw’s would have been all over the road . I will get a few soon as . Worst thing for me really though , was the place was bloody empty .

My purple punch autoflower , is taking a long time here , I have it under an led , and only on the 3rd set of leave’s. Broke the soil on the 9 aug , and it is not as green looking as I would like it to be. It is the first time that I have used led’s , or any type of light’s.
Also , I used the straw around the stem to help thicken it up a little , but , can’t see any difference , so have removed it .

Next time add perlite to the soil, also watch out for over-watering and if it's not the color you want you might start feeding some weak nutrients ?

* gentle breeze (i.e. a fan) strengthens stems

No problem man. Every grower on here was once where you were (even me). If you have more questions I dont mind answering. And yes blacking it out for 12 hours should initiate flowering on that purple punch. Its a lot of work if youre growing in a tent especially with autos to black it out LOL I know Ive done it. Peace.
Thank you
