Hollow stem

[Skunkbuster]

Hi guys.. just a quick question .. what would cause hollow stems?.. broke a manifold stem and it was hollow.. your input is greatly appreciated

Calcium deficiency is usually the issue, but micro nutrients can play a role as well.

[oldjarhead100]

hmm thats a problem? I always thought it was just the plant getting big

[Qwertywill]

Ojh, I thought the same, When I did the guerilla grow years ago, all of my stems were hollow.... they all looked extreamly healthy too lol.

OMG! the aliens have invaded Your plants and installed water pipes! LOL, just kidding! The hollow center of the stems is normal, the path for water and nutriants.

I only started noticing this phenomenon on my last harvest; stems were hollow, weed turned out great. I want to see if I ever have any plants without hollow stems...

[abadtrip]

I have never not had hollow stems now u have me worried

[Skunkbuster]

Lol sorry guys .. as im a new grower it just freaked me out to see that.. in my mind for some reason i had "trees" in mind (solid, thick) when ever i thought of stems and branches.. mind is now at ease .. thanks again 👍

Well, you know what they say, " when life gives you hollow stems, make a pipe out of it, and smoke weed!"

Hey, I got respect for Cervantes, but his voice is what it is! ;-}

Can't wait to see pictures of your outdoor setup, GHE!!

It's in a greenhouse, and I only have 8' of head room, but I will try to actually start a thread and post some pics, specially cause it looks halfway decent now !

[alltatup]

GreenhouseEffect Awwwww, only 8 feet? Oh well, you'll just have to make do with lil shorties!!! :-}

Just want to say high to everyone I'm new to this site and I also in countered this for the second time growing in the past few years I have a rough idea of what it is but really don't care because for some reason my yields are much bigger not to say the hollow stem is the cause of my heavier yields..this was the Ortega I just recently cut down and yes I am a true o.g grower I just prefer the older strains.

[alltatup]

Greengringo Welcome, gringo!! Beautiful plant!! I also like the old school strains! I'm curious: Who's the Orgega breeder? Did you get regular or fem. seeds?

[Greengringo]

Thxs alltatup.dont know much about the plant the seed was given to me when I bought the northern lights I'm gonna go ahead and assume that it was fem because it wasn't a male..lol

[alltatup]

Old school NL is definitely on my list!!

At that est I have had hollow stems...More like a hole in the stem. Someone remarked once that it indicated the pl as it was done.
In this current sexing of regular seeds I had a gross hollow stem/ trunk...You could easily squishing. Breeder said hydro plants have hollow stems. 🧐🙄
That hollow was like a main water pipe.
Kim still unsure. I consider Coco to be hydro but not like DWC or aeroponics.

Main stem of girl #1 from my grow that I got rid of a couple of days ago to make more room. It was like a mcdonald's straw inside. Had plenty of hollow side branches too.

[GreenhouseEffect]

I just posted some pictures on my thread of the one my Dad made for me.

[oldjarhead100]

GreenhouseEffect that was a cool pipe

[GreenhouseEffect]

Thanks OJH! I have tried to make one myself, but have not been able to drill the stem out, without putting a hole in the side. He used a solid stem, hollow would be much easier.

[Greengringo]

Oldjarhead100 I would like to see the end result when your done..that's being creative.

[oldjarhead100]

I will do so with pride lol
