How old are the plants, what size containers are they in, are there any pests that you know of?

not sure if it’s true or not but heard having a good fan helps with that

If you're talking about pests, then it depends on the pest I believe.

Ahh....I don't know if it thickens them up or not, but it definitely makes them stronger.

I know my brothers plants looked liked spaghetti noodles until I got him to use nutrients all he had available was the floragrow or something like that. Add a better light and add a fan

They are a few weeks away from harvest, im not really counting but they must be around 4.5 months old. One of them is in a 10 gallon pot and the other is in a 4 gallon pot, both have more or less the same stem size xD. I haven't really had any pests, but for the first month of their life they were receiving a lot of heat, and got very stressed, barely grew during that first month, maybe that was one of the reasons they have thin stems.

I usually run it up front in veg for structure of plant. Especially if I decided to run a long veg and manifold / hub it.

I was just going to say Si, sources are diatomaceous earth or I use rice hulls, budzilla beat me to it. If your sip setup then definitely use a Si supplement

what about alfalfa hay
That works. It has an even higher nitrogen content to carbon ratio than timothy hay, so it will likely need topping up a bit more often because it decays pretty quickly.
