What went wrong? Hmmm, well I snapped my number 2 plant's main stem on its 1st day of LST. My corrective action was to put a bandaid on it as well as a crutch & hope she mends. No depressing pic was taken. π
@TheCaveMan,
After super cropping the plant will grow bushier, produce more buds, and possibly even produce more THC! This is how the plant naturally responses to danger and protects itself. Growers take advantage of this technique to get bigger yields and more potent buds than would be produced otherwise.
More info available from Google.

@Puffer_BillSorry to hear that. One door closes and another opens up, So now you enjoy your garden AND don't rely on anyone which is exactly my goal. Take care of myself & momma...π
@TheCaveMan,
I spent most of my life training, free diving and playing rugby. Then a serious injury put all that to rest. I got idle. And taught myself CGI and how to grow and make my own medicines instead of buying them.
I π growing.
@Puffer_Bill, Yes sir!!! More than I ever thought I would. I'm more of a tech junky out of the 60-70s. I never had a true desire to garden until now. I absolutely love seeing the daily differences. I'm only LST-ing one plant after I broke the main stem on my second plant. I want them to get a little stronger 1st. However, the one that I have been trying to train is def packed w/ a lot more sites on it compared to the others.
Earlier in the week I increased nutes and caused nitrogen toxicity that I believe I caught soon enough to correct by reducing nutes to a minimal amount, add 3 ml of Cal-Mag+ and pH 5.9 ONLY. All 4 plants turned a dark forest green, the tops appeared wilted and the tips of the leaves were barely discoloring, but noticeable. Another lesson learned. Beware of the plant color INSIDE the tent w/ the Optic 4 LED ON.
I didn't even notice the color darkening as it did until about a day - 1/2 later when I took them out to vacuum the run-off. At least I learn something new every day! π· Anyway, I believe since I noticed it so soon and backed off immediately on the nutes that they'll bounce right back. I just hate the thought of even more growth stunting, but hey, it is what it is. I'm learning!
