    I was wandering if their was anything I could do to help my plant get bigger and fatter stems? Right now theirs a lot of new growth but compared to my other plant (which is a different strain btw) the stems are pretty skinny and a little weak. So yeah can someone give me some advice on bulking up my stems?

    get good air movement going, wind will naturally thicken the stems also
    if they stretched at the start it might be low levels of light making them stretch
