well they are only 10 days old.. give them some time.. they will get thicker.
do you have a fan in the grow room.. i find my plants get thick stems quickly because i have multiple fans facing the plants. movement helps the stems get stronger hence making them thicker

my fans have low medium high modes on them so i start on low while they are small like this. and as they get thicker move up the strength of wind :)

hope i was able to help you. good luck

well what soil are you using? if your soil has nutes in it you probably wont want to add nutes for about 1 month maybe longer.
i use foxfarm ocean forest and dont start adding nutrients until the 3rd to 4th week

if ur soil "runs out" of nutes just give em like a 1/4 dose

again crashbong knows whats up....i use FFOF as well and wait till the 3rd. week because of all the nutes it already has in it....i highly recommend using molasses every watering or every other for a good microbial feed for your soil. keep your soil heaalthy and your plants will do the same.

nice gobskii i actually never do that with the molasses, hows that work for you?
you like the outcome? i may have to do this. i normally just water it with regular water ,. then next watering with nutes .. off and on

ya i love the molasses...since ive been using it i havent noticed a huge increase in bud size, but noticeable and i dont have the yellowing fan leaves during flowering anymore either, just overall health of the plant seems much better using molasses. again i recommend it to everyone using soil.

Wow thanks a lot im Deffly goin to get some tommorow.
You reccommend adding it with every other watering?
And how much is good to add??

ummm...i use 1 tsp. and it kinda depends. start off slow of course, and then eventually u can use it with every watering. and be sure to get the unsulphured, and all natural molasses. very important to get UNSULPHURED

but eventually it is good to be able to measure with decent accuracy how much water your plants take before you get 15% run-off because molasses like cakes at the top of my water jug if left out for a day or 2. better to mix it and use it all rather then waste it.
