help!

Hi, my plants are vegging and look healthy other than the fact they have very long and thin stems making them very weak and they often fall over. They have been growing for about 3 weeks from sunlight and have about 10 small leaves. One of the plants is bending i assume towards the light but it makes it very hard for the stems to support the weight and i cant seem to get them to grow faster and stronger. They are top44 so they could be finished within 7 weeks of seedling apparently but at the rate im going it will be alot longer. Any advice on what to do wqould be much appreciated. Cheers

well, they stretched quiet a bit which would explain the tine stems, and that happens normally due to a lack of light. since you are in veg still you got to options, one is to fix them to bamboo sticks as support or top them so the grow over again and more stable. but since you seem to be outdoors topping isn't the first choice if you not happen to keep the surrounding vegetation trimmed low.

the 7 weeks apply to the flowering time only and also a rather crude guideline when to expect harvest. rather check the trichomes color later on in flower to determine the time for harvest then this seedbank statement
