North Thunderfuck #1

We're at the 4-week mark and have begun the flowering stage. I did use vegetative nutrients this past week to help with the recovery after defoliating. I opened the plant up and it's basic skeletal structure is sound and ready for flowering. I did mess up this week but was extremely lucky. If you notice in the pics, there's tape wrapped around the main stem just under halfway up. I had been LST'ing and my bending clip had come off. Being the genius I am, I immediately tried to re-bend it back and the stem snapped in half. It was barely hanging on by a thread and I threw the tape on immediately. Fortunately the strong autoflower genetics allowed it to heal up quickly and developed a solid knuckle where the break had occurred. As you can also see in the picture, it didn't slow it down much and it has fully recovered. Aside from the defoliation, I've left her alone and will continue to let it grow as it wants. I'll probably be starting with the flowering nutrients this week. Aside from the bump in the road this week, she's been growing like a champ and I'm excited to start the flowering stage. Until next week......
