I have flushed out my plants because of I burnt my plants. Now my pride and joy has fallen to the side. I don't know if it's stem rot or heat stress. So i have tied a string loosely with some slack to straighten it up. Why is the stem failing to hold up the plant?:stoned:

Probably either insufficient light or damping-off. Read the stickies for some info on correct seedling care- get good ventilation in there to prevent rot, and give enough light to control stretch, and that should not happen.

pictures and age of plant would give much better idea

until then, try using a pencil and string to hold it upright

I finally figured out my tipped over plant is a sativa plant not an indica its street name is called AZ. Does it act differently from indica, what do I need to differently from an indica? I have also have been using the incorrect warm white bulbs for vegetation could that be part of the problem?

warm white bulbs are not ideal for vegetative, but they would work to some extent.

get at leat 2 23w coolwhite/daylight cfls over it, and find some way to prop it up until it can strenghten.

the fact its sativa really shouldnt affect the stem strenght, its usually due to too little light at too far away, causing the plant to stretch to far to support itself
