Hey all,

I have a 3 week old plant that is really starting to take off and the leaves grew faster than the stem it seems. It is starting to lean over... Can I cut the leaves pulling it down in half? It only has about 3 nodes showing and the 4th is developing now...

i would get a piece of wire and make a loop at the top stick it in the soil and use it to hold the plant up until the stem is stronger .you may need to lower your light or put a fan on low blowing on it to help it get stronger. see my pic i've used this and it worked perfect.

I wouldn't if it has trouble supporting leaves imagine buds. Get a oscillating fun to blow on it will strengthin the stem. You could also stake it.
