Bummer chinacat. Sorry to hear that. It happened to me with a Sweet Tooth mom that had a rockwool plug around the stem for too long. Drat!

Here's a hint about adding soil over the stem:
You CAN do it, but never on from-clone plants, and ONLY up to the node where the cotyledons had originally been, and then, only before the stem grows that dry, flaky bark that mature cannabis plants get. The moral of this story is, give ample light early to control stretch so you don't have to think about this!
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Grow Log: Beginners Attempt at Dank Nugs I wanted to start a grow log here to get feedback from other growers along my journey. I will keep this updated as the grow continues and hopefully come harvest time I'll have some sticky nugs. 2/11/08 -- Day 1 Well today is day one of my grow log, I recieved 20 seeds today from Planet Skunk an order of Dutch Passion Orange Bud as well as an order of White Label Double Gum. I have the seeds germinating in a wet paper towel so an update will come with their progress. 2/13/08 -- Day 3 Rating: 5
