tie her down into Low Stress Training or LST, it will help fatten those stems and help control the height

Hey wayn123 and welcome , you will want to give it a light breeze from a fan so the lil girl is swaying back and forth but not violently. What this does is create tears in the stem and when it repairs the stem gets thicker. Hope I helped just my 2 cents.. Good Luck.

Happy Growing!

have you got the heat off the rad venting up to the plant? if so you dont want it to hot, also a fan will thicken the stem up in no time.

If you tie the stem down sideways, you'll be amazed how thick that badboy will get. Just be careful not to break it. I usually use a counter tie the other way for support.
