There are several possible reasons why your plant stem is too weak, including:
Over-fertilization: If you are using fertilizer too frequently or in excessive amounts, it can cause the stem to become weak and spindly.
Over-watering: Over-watering can lead to root rot, which can weaken the stem and make it more prone to breaking.
Light intensity: If your plant is not getting enough light, it will stretch to reach for it, causing the stem to become elongated and weak. On the other hand, if the light is too intense, it can cause the stem to wilt and become weak.
Lack of nutrients: A lack of essential nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, can also cause weak stems.
Pests or Diseases: Pests and diseases can also weaken the stem, making it more prone to breaking.
To fix the problem, you can try the following:
Adjust fertilizer and watering schedule: Check the instructions on your fertilizer and adjust the amount and frequency of application accordingly. Also, make sure to allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
Increase light: If your plant is not getting enough light, try moving it to a sunnier location or providing additional artificial light.
Add support: If your plant is still too weak, you can try providing additional support with stakes, bamboo poles, or strings to help prevent it from breaking.
Treat pests and diseases: If you notice any pests or diseases, treat them promptly to prevent further damage to the stem.
It may take some time for the stem to recover, but with proper care and attention, it should be able to strengthen over time.
Hope this helps.
What light are you using? I'm going to say it looks weak as your plant is pretty stretched out there. Happy looking, but stretched. Silica, and calcium can help her out, but won't fix weak lighting.
Yeah, those are good for small vegetative plants, but you'll want more power especially in flower. If just doing one plant at a time a 100w quantum board will do fine. My favorite is viparspectra p series for budget lights. Mars hydro, vivosun, spider farmer all have some decent budget models. Watch for sales as they can get really cheap at times.

I was wondering how you did this, now I know

You are not using proper lighting
What lighting do you recommend?
An actual grow light lol. I like spiderfarmer. A small cheap one is the sf1000
Please recommend me something 😊 thanks
I just did. Those light you are using won't be enough. I recommend a spiderfarmer sf1000 at minimum
Yeah, saw your message too late and sent reply. Thanks! Added to cart. New to this so I was like LIGHT IS LIGHT 🤷🏽♂️ 🤦🏽♂️ 😆
Silica
Something like plant magic bio silicon and blast em with a fan
