Involuntary topping quickly after germination. I put the plant outside too soon and somehow the top branch died due to bad weather.
Fortunately the first side branches were already formed, so they became new main branches.
It's growing good since then.
Day 53: Did some LST today but accidentally applied too much force in the main branches, which resulted in damage to the main trunk at the bottom. I tried to fix this damage by tying the 2 branches together.
Day 55: the plant is still alive, the fix to the trunk seems to be working. I will just keep the branches tied together.
you can use that opportunity and cut the stem a bit more. If you dont want to, i can understand but i would still put tooth sticks in there. Thats a trainingtechnique but forgot the name. You can also just skip on that and simply repair it.
Before you put toothsticks or if u simply want to repair. i would apply one cabletie underneath the damage so it doesnt get worse and up above you can use a thick thread, bind it around both branches and the middle top inbetween like an 8 or simply around both branches, you can put a lot thread there till it looks like a ball. so press the 2 branches together that will pressure the wound together by itself.
This lady is growing very well. The damaged stem seems to be healed. I still added some support to ist, just to be sure.
I added some LST to the lower branches.
