Four ladies...315 LEC

I saw the same thing on my Moby Dick CBD (Dinafem) when I cut clones about 2 months into grow. The stems were kinda woody, and all the clones died (I think it was my cloner bin that I was experimenting with), but the plant is still doing fine. The hollow stem just healed over, and all is well.
 
I've also had hollow stems with certain strains. I grew a Blue Widow that had the biggest roots ever and it was just stocky with thick stems that were impossible to bend. When I topped it there was a big hole going down the middle of it's main stem. The hole naturally closed itself within a few hours. I've also seen holes in the middle of stems at harvest :)
 
This was the mother plant, straight from seed in December. Another plant that had died two month prior, had similar in all branches except the main stem and that plant only died after I took cuttings to try cloneing it as it was showing sickness. The clones are actually alive. Mother plant dead. I'm checking when I get home on what type it is.
 
From what I have noticed...

1.. Hollow stems in old mom plants..usually caused because they get treated like house plants eventually ...getting fed every so often..not letting plant store food so it eats itself trying to get after stored vitamins...can give hollow stems to clones..
2.. Hollow stems in plants at harvest time..means you have cut back on nutrients and the plant is eating itself from inside out..using all stored vitamins
3.. Hollow stems in plants that are under fed are just simply hungry...plants store food/sugar...if it's not on a constant supply it won't store it up it will just eat as it's given and eat itself from inside out trying to get more stored up food...hence hollowed out stem and stalks..

Some strains want more than others... That's why I always suggest feeding at full strength so you can tell right off what plant or strain needs more or less...
If you always feed at half dose ....that's crazy to me.. How will you know if they can handle more... So what if you nute burn them a little... It's not the end of the world..

A... Give them all the light you can afford
B... Give them all the nutrients they can handle
C...strip the built up salt content out of medium very occasionally
D...have fun

This is How I've always looked at it in my head of thoughts...seems to ring true
 
Agreed, i never half did anything else in life, why half feed my plants lol. It just never logically made sense to me so i never did it.
 
Never got a chance to thank you for the information Green75. I used to water my plants on a daily basis and feed them once a week but after I was told it was too much, and switched to every three days, that's when a lot of these issues came up so back to watering almost daily and I am going to let my remaining plants go to flower then finish them off and start from fresh. I dumped the recent clones. Rather start over with those as well.
