Day 36-42
Grow went really smooth until day 37.
Was away for three days and came back to a branch that snapped itself, caused by her vigorous growth during the stretch.
Extremely frustrating to see, especially because it happened to me before and I was super careful with the ties. Only tied down at thick spots which probably saved the remainings. A small fraction of the branch was able to support everything on top, even though it grew significantly slower.
I cut out the dried surface where the branch once connected and tied them together. I figured proper healing would still be better than leaving her like she was.
The Fan leaves came in big in these three days and completely covered the new branches. To allow light penetration to both the new branches and the snapped one, I did a heavy defoliation to hopefully stun her growth until she has recovered.
Sad to miss out on some of her size, but leads to more experience and a little challenge.
Learn from my mistakes and never leave your plant alone during stretch...
