Hollow Stalks

[Greenlivin]

Just harvested part of my plant, and noticed it had a hollow stalk. Pretty cool. Anyways, after researching I saw a lot of people say it’s good and a lot of people say it’s a deficiency. I’d love to get some feedback from you veterans.

Mine are always hollow, I think its part of the dying cycle.

When I grow hydro I notice my stalks are always hollow. I've always associated it with the extra water uptake but never really put much thought into it.

BY the time harvest comes, ....hollow about 1/3 up from the root zone also depends on stalk diameter

Mines are hollow like Farmall says especially stems. No big deal to me.

Anybody have experience with water curing?

 

[Farmall]

A suitable replacement for plastic straws?

Stems are hollow. You can gently crush them around 4 to 6 weeks between your fingers gently and they will close up. Supposedly this helps them carry nutrients, I find it makes the stalk stronger and thicker over time vs not doing it.
