    Default hollow stems??

    I'm at the end of week 7 in flower and i noticed that one of my plants needed support because i thought the weight of the buds were bringing it down. After I secured it to a bamboo stake, one of the side bottom branches just bent over and broke off.

    After looking closer at the piece broken off, i was amazed at how hollow it was...just like bamboo. There was no sign of pests inside or anything...the plant looks totally healthy.

    what could this be?? why is this plant so hollow?

    Soil...that's what trips me out. I've heard of hydro having hollow stems. My plant has denser stems near the bottom but becomes more hollow at the top....a little wierded out by it.

    Yup, mine is from the freebie seed too. i like this plant...here are some pics...i topped her @ 15" and she stretched to about 43"! very sugary looking buds...it didn't pack alot of weight but my grow is organic so it's not going to come out all nuked up but it looks very decent and i love her smell.

    them pictures look real nice man, i too will also be going organic so this is a good idea on what to expect from the seed/strain mine is currently about a week old and is growing with 4 other attitude seed freebies from my order. heres a pic of it. how early did you feed it?? if anything ill be using mexican bat guano during veg and i think its jamaican guano when its time for the flowering and idk if itll need it but ill flush the soild a week or two before i harvest like i said i dont know if its needed, but nothings better than organic bud im not a fan of chemically grown bud. haha i hope using guano is considered organic.
