Week 7 has ended, and things are mostly positive! Gorilla Cookies remains the undisputed champion, dwarfing its companions in size. Bud development is well underway, with a noticeable increase in density and the exciting appearance of trichomes. The other two plants have also entered the flowering stage and seem to be progressing adequately.
A minor hiccup emerged this week, with some yellowing on the tips of the Gorilla Cookies. Taking a cautious approach, I've withheld nutrients this week, opting for water only in hopes of facilitating a recovery. While this is a cause for some monitoring, the overall outlook remains good.
Snapped 2 branches while trying LST for the first time. Any idea how bad this is for my plant? Should I stop training to avoid more stress since I already topped her this week, or any other advice on how to redeem this mistake? 😩
It happens, you're fine. Honestly I remove those first node branches(sometimes the 2nd too)anyway as they tend to grow stretchy with large gaps between nodes. When using LST, take baby steps when working with stems that are starting to stiffen up.
You'll be fine with the lack of air movement at this stage of your grow, shouldn't cause you any issues! As long as you got a replacement fan coming at some point within too long, I would not worry😇
Congrats on your first harvest, looks like the grow went well. I have a 2x2 also, and have found that one healthy plant usually fills the space. Good move on the outdoor plant.
