Hey you guys, I had A question about stems. I've been seeing alot of debates about whether or not hollow stems are good or bad.
Many people seem to think that hollow stems are actually a sign of A perfect healthy plant. Also that A hollow stem is better for the plant to be able to pass water and nutrients throughout its self known as Capillary Action?
Others seem to think hollow stems and/or red stems are due to deficiencies such as calcium and/or boron?
I've noticed that my healthiest looking plants seem to have thick pithy stems. When I supercrop or cut branches off for clones, the stems are filled and juicy. Also when I bend branches down,they'll fight it and want to bend back up and grow straight up.
I recently just had A nute deficient girl that was rootbound in A 1-Gallon Smart Pot for about 2 months. She stretched majorly and her branches where very hollow. I could bend the branches super easily and didnt even have to tie them down..
So I think some of the hollow stems might be due to genetics.. But IMHO I would think alot of it is due to nutrients. What do you guys think about having hollow stems?
