purp kush autoflower's falling over

So I'v got 20 one week olds In those biodegradable pots in my 4x4 tent under a 600 mh light. They get water every morning with half strength advanced nute products (grow, micro,) and full strength voodoo juice. I have gentle air circulation moveing them slightly. A purp kush fell over then I bumped one and it laid over and is half recovered and another one is half over but still has its leaves upturned, as do/did the others. They show no damage from the nutes the light or water issues, any ideas why they're laying over? My thought is they grew to fast for their own good I've got em propped up. I'd put pics but I'm an old school guy I'm not to sure about this whole "internet" thing. Thanks for the help.

How is the air movement? If they don't have a good breeze on them from the beginning they will develop weaker stalks. I have grown the non-auto purple kush and it did tend to have thinner stems prone to bending over. So, could also be a genetic issue? I would just stake them up but leave them the ability to move with the airflow and they should strengthen back up. Good luck

i had to stop moving my purp kush around when they started flowring has well, very flexible yet theres 2 fans 24/7 on them
we have freezeland and purp kush and well the freeze holds solid no problem,
But the kush is making aloooot of branches instead of solidifying up,
we had to hook up most tops if not they just bend down inside and don't get light
so we stopped moving them around and now most tops are hooked up .
i really think it is the strain because i normally have trunks not stems, its the only thing i am good at haha making strong large plants, bah

Hey

howdy, never checked my post sorry! Thanks for the feedback they recovered and finished well except the yeild was very low and it was fluffy for a variety of reasons, the auto sativas I had time to work with more and they had more time in a better environment as I corrected some issues that led to my first finishers (pk at aprox 80-90 days) being a little below my 'high' standards

If I were to guess, I'd say you're giving your babies nutrients when they can't handle them, which them makes the root growth slow to a stop, which in turn leaves them vulnerable to damping off.

And unless you soild dries out in hours..... watering every day is WAYY too often.

I learned this the hard way..... had 14 seedlings dampen off on one of my first grows
