Oh noooo .... this was a shitty week. It started with one of my other plants turning hermie (partially). I panicked and removed that plant immediately and started looking this girl over as thoroughly as I could ... found ONE seed. Have not found any seeds since (over a week) ... and I do not see any hermies.
However .... with one plant removed early - this girl had more room to stretch out ... I thought, SWEET - I can just pull some of these branches out a bit to expose every beautiful node on this girl.
Then ... SNAP .... as I was tying it down - I snapped a branch. One of the big ass lower branches :(
I immediately started triage ... normally I just grab some of my soft plant ties and connect that branch back to the main branch - tie it off and let it heal ... but ... since this girl is so huge - the branch was over 3 feet long - and already getting a bit top-heavy. I could not keep the branch straight while trying to tie it back on. It kept twisting every time I tried to tie it.
I was getting a bit frustrated ... and because of that, I was being too hasty and what would you guess happens next???!!! ....... I BROKE ANOTHER BRANCH. This time, it came CLEAN OFF. And, again ... it was another 3 foot long, top-heavy branch.
So, I stopped my efforts to save the first branch - chalk them both up as loses and just step away from the plant before I do more harm.
I would bet money I lost about 2 ounces of potential harvest weight. She's still huge - and is still going to give me a huge yield ... but I'm so pissed at myself. A very valuable lesson learnt!
