I have tried bending my stems and it resulted in a botched stem joint that healed with the bend I’m very worried about putting it into flowering rn Because I feel as if the stem is way too weak to hold flowering buds what kind of lights should I use and should I continue stress training ?? It’s almost winter it’s never been outside I want to flower it indoors but it need to get thicker I can only spend about 85 bucks on amazon for lights so I need something sturdy how many limes what colour spectrum and how much wattage ??

Put a bamboo stake in the pot to tie branches to and support the main stem but that's one small, spindly plant for 78 days in veg so you need better lighting etc if you plan to get any amount of decent bud.

If you can get some decent light I'd root some cuttings from that plant and start some new and better versions.

:peace:

Don’t be looking into silicon or any other supplements to throw your money away on while you are still completely new to this. It won’t help you at this point.

Additives aren’t magic. They add tiny percentage points of improvement and mostly only to dialled in environments.

You have more gallons of soil than watts of light! You need more light! Or drastically lower any expectations of yield and plant vigor.

We need details of the size of your space, if you have extraction or not etc

If you are in a tiny space and this 16w light is all you will / can use. You need to learn to LST (low stress training) via tieing down most likely. And don’t expect to yield more than 20 grams at maximum.

I second that you'll need a better light. A 600 or 400 watt is pretty cheap. For 85 bucks, you may need to look on craigslist. I forgot how much the ballast costto say get it new

What do u mean by extraction and the details of my space is a walk in closet with a double outward opening window pain and roughly the wall along the closet is 3 and a half meters across and two and a half meters wide 10ft high I have an old ceramic water heater in the room under that window The window faces south it gets tons of sun in the morning around two o’clock it goes away and I turn on my lights 2pm - 8 am 18 hrs on 6 hrs off

Window light is inadequate for any sort of growing
