dont bent them yourself. you should have fans going that slightly shakes them! Get an oscillating fan so it blows on them then gives them a break and so on. The shaking causes it to think it needs to Strengthen or Harden up. pretty much trying to simulate wind.

As a straight answer to your question ,

Yes you could gently bend your stem every few days and it will strengthen up

but an isolating / rotating fan is ideal ,

if your stems are weak because their stretching

then you need to lower your lights

and you can also re plant them and bury most of the stem

the part of the stem that gets buried will start to grow roots

your stems will thicken up by doing that ,

if you got cfl`s you can keep them like 2 to 3 " over your plant

it will stop the stretching and you plants will start to fill out better

as fo your "argument" he said "get it" as in get yourself a fan. you see it, you get it. problem solved

for the stem, you can bend it a couple of times a day or pinch it. and yeah, you'll need that fan too. get it..... oops hahaha humour

Look at his other threads.
LOL that is pretty funny. He does eem to get into a lot of arguments and has no clue wat he's talking about.

Here's some that stood out at me:

I don't (use tap water) I use fridge water.

I don't overwater because I know what I am doing.

The FFOF killed my plants so I switched back to MGOC

here's some of my plants, germinated in FFOF and given nothing but tap water.
