Hey anyone know why one of my plants stems have bumps going up it, maybe 2-3 of them.
I was a little worried abit it as it not flowering as fast as the other three, but its starting to now a little bit.

Thanks

its just a damaged section on the stem. I do this all the time on the top buds to slow the growth and make the plant spread out more.

I think Dizzle Frost means, did you squeeze the stems in those spots, not pots

I wouldn't worry about it. Thicker stems support bigger buds, which is always a good thing.

Your plant might also be sleeping around and now she has herpes. Or it could be what everyone else is saying, but I'd go with herpes. Because Herpes are always the answer.

Sounds about right.

Btw, I do this intentionally while the girls are still vegging. Not drop lights on 'em, but squeeze and bend the stems.
