Hello , I went to check my plants today and noticed that 3 of them have stress cracks right at the stump and maybe a few inches farther, my 2032 actually has a 2 inch crack running with the vine. They were let down nicely anything that may be causing this? also I noticed on my 1985 at a small leaf right by stump had a small foamy spot and at one of the leave junctions. My plants are between the 5th and 7th leaf stage im a little worried about this any info would be great help thank you!

post a picture, it's WAY easier to get help. Otherwise you get a lot of speculation.

stress fracture, maybe from wind or laying down to fast. It doesn't look too serious. Put some fungicide or sulfur on it and keep it dry, and it should scar over and be fine. A fan is never a bad idea to help dry a wound out.
