Can someone help me figure this out please

im really confused as to this.. im new to growing soo idk if this is normal when the plants widening or what.. but it literally looks like... like somone did a once over with a potato peeler on just one side of this plant everywhere else is fine but the trichromes on the very bottom of the main stem between ground and rounded leaves are like scraped away .. has anyone seen this before .. is it common.. a pest.. a deficiency or what heres pics best i could get to focus on such small area thank you soo much!

Looks normal to me..

do you see any silvery white trails around the plant or soil?
it looks to me like the natural growth of a stem

My first grow im more paranoid than a rich crack fiend ina room full of broke friends haha im sure u can get it.. im lookin for perfect symmetry and stuff but i figured.. since no i have not seen any bugs..my only worry was the nutes i added didnt have cal or mag in em.. i had to whip up some homemade concoction for the moment lol .. its really only thing i noticed off at all.. otherwise.. if anything its outgrowing the other 3 almost double.. thought maybe it was skin splitting from speedgrowing.. its growing a new set of leaves a day right now

oh also the 3rd pic is the normal side.. it was only split on one side :/

Hey I’m on my first time grow as well and when I noticed this I got paranoid too but a friend who’s grown multiple times said this is just the trunk forming a type of bark like skin to help strengthen and thicken the trunk!

Thank you.. not alone.. deep breaths.. is it wierd i talk to my plants.. i feel like the co2 i breathe out talking to it will feed it lol.. i thought like some woodchuck ninja bug was gonna chop my plant down from the bottom while i wasnt looking or some hydrochloric acid splatted on it from nowhere LOL

you can play them heavy metal, they love AC/DC, for some reason heavy metasll works better then bob marley or clasicalmusic, they did a test on plants at some university, ill see if i can find the info for you

oops, maybe another test from a differant place, but heres some results Classical music made plants grow better, bushier, and greener, with healthier stems. Jazz music also accelerated growth and made plants fuller. Heavy metal music, together with new age and Celtic tunes increase both plant mass AND fruit taste. Country and western music for plants had no effects on development.

GARDENING guru Chris Beardshaw has recommended a new technique for bigger blooms – blast your plants with heavy metal music. The broadcaster reveals to Radio 4 listeners today that a constant diet of Black Sabbath worked wonders on a greenhouse full of plants

Playing music for your plants may seem like a strange thing to do, but research suggests that any sound, including music, helps boost plant growth. Vibrations from sound waves seem to stimulate growth factors

Def normal. Majority of new growers over analyze and stress themselves out. It’s normal lol. Most of us did the same when we started.

After a couple grows you will not worry things like this because you will have seen it a few times already. Can’t put a price tag on experience.

Best of luck, you got this
