Mine was like that to when I was growing under a 70w MH light and I think its because the more powerful the light is the stalk will be hollow because it needs to take water up but at the same time I might be wrong

i know that if you are near the end of the flower cycle then it means its ready. The hollow stem shows that it is no longer moving water or nutes up the plant. It will still survive of the nutes and water in the leaves but i would cut soon.

im 3wks in veg and my stem is hollow on a few of my plants. im not sre if it has any significance but from my experience its a sign that you have a very healthy plant. my biggest baddest plants are the ones with the hollow stems. i think this is something breeders look for as a sign of strong genetics? cant be sure though so dont take my word for it.

This is entirely false.

In my experience, plants with hollow stems are all quite healthy, if a bit leggy.

I also find that not to be true. I have a indica strain that has about 7 points on it and it has fat leafs.

you realize that what you said does not show evidence of the quoted statement being false, right?

I have grown many, many cannabis plants and can tell you without a doubt that it is normal growth, whatever strain it is.

Please explain to me how what I said didn't show any evidence of what he said even though he said " hollow stems are pretty normal in sativa dominant weed plants"

and I said that I also find it not to be true because I am growing a indica strain that has hallow stems. Thus I have his statement isn't true and you just proved what I said that indica strains can get hollow stems to.
