This could be wrong, but its what comes to mind when I thought about this, read it somewhere in school a bit ago.

I second this explanation, all my strains develope hollow stems
even my lower limbs used for cuttings are hollow

Daddynobucks Reviewed by Daddynobucks on . Hollow Stem?? Ok we have pretty much only been growing 1 strain and been happy with that but we finally got to the point where we wanted a lil variety. So on our tent grow we sprouted a "freebie" seed from our last order and have it growing with 4 Medibud plants. Now we have no clue what strain this plant is and we have not dealt with different strains while growing. Last night we took a clone from this unknown plant and when I went to scar the stem before putting into a RR I saw that the stem was hollow. Is Rating: 5
