This is my first Grow ever. I have 2 autoflower 1x Blue Mystic and 1x Auto Purple. I have 1-125watt 6400k 1-23watt 5000k 1100 lumens 3-14 watts 2700k 900 lumens each. The leaves on the plant looks good but the stems look weak, When i spray water them the water on the leaves make the stems bend ! I have a fan that runs 3-4 hrs on and off durning the 18/6 light schedule. The auto Purple is in the red pot and the auto Blue mystic is in the white. Tips please!!!!

Bro, those are tiny little seedlings, of course they have soft stems. If they were hard at this point you'd have a problem. Lay off the spraying. They don't need it and you will only leech the nitrogen from the leaves over time with constant misting. Those are big pots for seedlings, watch the water bro, I can't even count the amount of over-watered plants I've seen on RIU now. In a pot that size it will be hard to treat once it happens.

Your fan should be on 24/7, plants need constant air circulation, and yes, stop spraying your plant, it doesn't help, nor does it need it, in such a big pot watch your feeding, you'll drown your baby.

I agree with dee 24/7 that fan needs to be running low speed of course for seedlings tho, also those pots look a bit big for those seedlings so it'll be a while before those girls get big because there gonna produce a lot of roots to fill the space first. I usually start seedlings in a solo cup or something of the same size then transplant when the roots have filled the cup, this way usually produces a healthy sturdy plant.

What your seeing in your pictures are root growth pushing the plant into the air. Completely normal.
The shoot is tender because of the cells that make it up. You will notice your shoot becoming more woody over time as the cells change.

Watch the auto flowers to man. Ive had trouble trying to grow them in bigger pots. I usually start our plants in solo cups and transplant when their ready. Autos usually give me probs though. Good luck with the rest of your grow and hopefully they come around for you.

Mine start with 5' tails and the stems are bigger than 28" rims.
Kind of hard to train though. Need my chainsaw and some rope tied to the back of a tractor to super crop.
