Herman slowed in growth this week and the lower leaves where turning yellow. I decided to check the roots and it was crying for more room. Today i re-potted into a 50L pot so it should be happy now

Yep, it will be fine and should power away quite happily. Cannabis is a remarkably tough and resilient plant and not the delicate and demanding plant that some people make it out to be. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Herman has gone into overdrive the last week with the weather being 30c - 34c and upping the water volume to 4 litres kind of worries about the size when it enters flower as it is currently 6ft tall and 4 ft wide 🤣 UPDATE: Herman has started the flower cycle new pics and eagle eyes confirmed SAD SAD DAY returned home from a long work trip and there is a storm going on. The two main branches have split down the middle where i topped it. One branch pretty much clean off. Emergency taping them back into place and supporting them but im thinking there done :(

I'd of tried to clone them if they were detached for an extended time. It may not work but it doesn't hurt to try. I normally tape my branches back on if they snap and they re attach 90% of the time but that's immediately. If I take to long or can't get a good tape on it, I throw them in a glass of water, wrap black cloth around the cup. Put the cutting on the floor at the furthest point from the light. It normally roots in 2 weeks with root hormones or not. I always end up with a bunch of clones that I just toss out. I clone all my tops, mainline/manifold cuttings

Birds are the best pest patrol on the earth. Be proud if they have settled there. Of course they are waiting for seeds but they ignore you are growing sensimillia. The only con are poops.

I would say use biobizz - you are in the ground so feed the soil not the plant. Suggestions: epsom salts for a watering, guano with a high P - go gentle with it, or grab some biobizz, maybe fishmix, bloom and some topmax or something. Synthetics can kill microbial life and because you in the ground that is a bad idea.
