Answer 1

Hello,,is seems like to much watering, I used to have that problem all the time, but after years of research and development I finally found the key to success lies in the soil/mixture and attention you give to them. You need to put them into a container that will allow them to grow without transplanting, because that allows the chance for shock to happen and that causes MALES to grow. It would be best for you to pull it and start over. Sometimes the lack of circulation(air) is the problem. You need to put a small fan with them to allow the stem to gain strength, this is also important to prevent heat build up and that causes root rot and mildew. I'd recommend reading the marijuana grower's guide, if you can still find it. Check out High Times ragazine for further insight. good luck and don't tell anybody i told you this.

Answer 2

I'll agree with the possibility that it's due to overwatering and may not be salvageable. Cannabis needs well drained soil, and should only be watered when the top inch of soil is dry, usually only every 2-3 days.

Look in the growers forums, and there's a forum for sick plants as well.

Answer 3

odd, it isn't outside with the chance snails or whatever are nibbling the stem? if so they need a cardboard roll (toilet roll or paper towell roll cut to level just below first leaves on stem) placed around the bottom of the stem to stop whatever bug it is that does this, but if that is the cause the damage may be too severe to save the plant.  It may also be that if it wasn't grown from seed and was transplanted that the soil level is too high and the stem is rotting, in which case take some soil away from around the base, either way, Check this site because they have a really excellent section on problems and pics to help identify your problem... http://www.marijuana-seeds.net/Thanks-Th...
