Yea, i have a 2 week old baby going, and its really kickin in with the vegging. somehow, i don't know how it happened, i looked and there were a couple really small vertical slits in the lower stem. THey are small, like maybe a mm or 2mm long, there's 2 of them. I never disturbed the plants, but somehow these vertical slits/cuts appeared. it almost looks like the plant grew too fast, and split the skin as a result. i know this is impossible, but thats the image of what this looks like. anyone have that problem? they are really small slits, no moisture or leakage from the slits, so they will survivive right?

i almost completely broke my main stem in half. immediately after i taped it back together and like two weeks later it completely healed itself.

This just happened to one of my seedlings about 1 week ago, but the cut was horizontal, and the plants stem was almost broken. So I took someones advice on here and added some soil to cover the cut part and some of the stem also to help it hold itself up and it is acutally doing better than all the other seedlings.
