Hollow Stems?

Sure but I mean if you look at which element is needed for each function, and these functions are necessary in all pot, why do some plants need more P to do the same thing as the next plant?

Idk I’m high lol

Different engines take different gas. I’m a little high too, and was thinking about some of the “whole plant” hung stalks I’ve held on to, some over them smell fantastic a year later sitting down in my basement. I’d love to start a candle company called “stem rub” that uses the stem ‘terps’ (and lighting a candle that smells like actual weed kinda seems expensive and doofy to me lol) I think stem rubs might lend themselves to a candle scent better.

Maybe use wax from hemp waste stream.

Some of the oldest ones I have smell the best, like incense or tea tree oil

Ok, now im rambling

Without reading everything, I hope I’m not completely redundant; but, I can at least share my experience.

I too had hollow stems even in organic early on, but after many things, which is when I began regularly feeding (1-2x per mo.) the big 6 micronutrients—especially boron—in a soil drench, paired with a calcium foliar. Almost like magic my hollow stems are gone and now only occur during stretch when certain plants have an outrageous pre to post stretch ratio.

Could be anything from hotspot in the medium used, better root uptake/absorption, or maybe even nutrient uptake/need is sexually determined??

Every time I see this thread……in my head….

Same with me I’ve noticed … same if I use farfard argo mix g 6 or sunshine mix 4… same thing happens . If I toss in some goods to feed the soil then there usually not as hollow…

Isn’t hollow streams, just a micro nutrient deficiency?

Some do, some don’t.

All thr auto flowers i grew were hollow though
