small stocks on trees

Hey guys .... I'm having a problem with my stock size of my girls.. the bottom of the stocks still seem green and not tree bark like... branches seem small also. What causes this problem ??? I have lots of wind hitting them.... someone said to me that the plants need run off I thought to myself well if there is a tray under the plants catching the water so what's the point of run off.... should I use rhino skin form AN...

well i dont let my pots sit in run off and or tray i dont know who told you that but i never do that, you can collect your run off to see whats the ph but letting it sit in and around your pot idk if thats a good thing,

How old is the Plant ?

7 months I grow trees

damn that's old, I doubt that I could even keep one alive that long :/

rhinoskin, i used that one time and it didn't even raise my ph like it SHOULD have, every other silica additive I've used does.
Maybe that's just part of the ph perfect thing but I don't know, I can't see how if it contained silica it wouldn't raise ph.

photos are gonna help you get some ideas possibly.

Rhinoskin would help, but no more than a cheaper silica product by DynaGro or Mad Farmer. Some of it could be genetic, have you worked with this strain before?

U know I have not worked with this strain and when I got them when they were small and in bad shape, but they perked right back up.also the node spacing is long in between buds .... must just be shitty genetics or the momma got stressed out. I know where they came from and they do very hi numbers of clones ..... can salt build up cause this problem
