So my friend has these plants and they are huge outdoor grown and healthy except the stems snap like toothpicks. They were soil grown with a little Miracle grow and whatever was in the grow mix.
 
Figured why post a new thread when an old one will do......

My buddy is having the same problem. everytime he tries to bend a branch it snaps on him. What causes this???
 
So I have no Idea what would cause such stiff brittle stems.

If you are trying to train. You should soften the stems by first squishing the portion of stem you wish to modify.
 
Like i said its a buddys deal, and only his sour D is doing it. I was just wondering if anyone knew if it was a specific deficiency that would cause it.
Personally I will crush the stem if its a little larger, but generally just tie down.

I have had outdoor grows that had hardy stalks that dont take to bending very well.
 
Probably genetics and not a deficiency of any sort. The leaves would tell you if it was a deficiency.
