This week I noticed a decent increase in height and I figured I should get LST started. I wanted to wait to transplant my ladies, but due to covid, my supply of soil is not here yet, and I can’t fill my 10 gallon pots for the transplant. I looked up online and people said you should be able to transplant the plant successfully by cutting the ties and ensuring you just don’t disturb the roots / medium.
I went ahead and got started with LST and I accidentally snapped one of my plants main stems during the process. I mean literally snapped, could see the hollow centres, hanging by a thread of fibre. *so heart broke * I had read online e you can repair it with duct tape and that aloe Vera helps. I did not have duct tape handy but I got some aloe and used the ducting tape that came with my exhaust fan to try to secure it. Fingers crossed it’ll heal
If I had some root stimulant I would’ve tried planting it but I don’t have any.
I was wondering could that be a form of super cropping? Do you think it’ll just be like a really brutal attempt at topping the plant? Very curious about everyone else’s thoughts on this
Pics are attached.
Aside from that one my LST went well from what I can tell. I did not train my blue dream out of fear of wrecking my one plant of that strain. I also did not LST one of my mystery caramel due to the stem feeling the same as the one that snapped. The rest I tied down and attached photos can you guys tell me if it looks like I did it correctly ? Would love some feed back.
All in all I feel like we are kicking off the week strong. Good growing to everyone
Do you guys think my plant will recover with the main stem break? Details are in the journal but basically it completely snapped, was hanging by a thread of fibre. I used some allow and ducting tap that came with my exhaust.
I've done this to a couple plants over the years and more often then not the plant recovers. If you got that tape one there and the two pieces of stem tight together it should heal in a week or two. Keep tape on there for a while tho!!! If the top that broke off is wilting and leaves feel limp and soft likely it's been damaged too much
You've done it like someone who has follow a step by step method and you've done it right. I can't see any things wrong in your LST , maybe you could use LST + topping to build a bushier shape ans increase the secondaries growth while keeping the a flat cannopy.
the leaves falling down are not a good sign but just leave it and let it do its thing it took my plant a couple weeks to heal up and recover fully dont get impatient and take the tape off just let it do its thing it if it dies it dies but give it a shot anyway man
@KenSpliffeyJr,
Looks like it yes. I have just recently gone through this with a glookies strain. I didn’t notice it hermied until too late. Wasted a lot of time for a subpar harvest, could’ve ruined the other plants as well. Me being stubborn thought it could be worth it to grow it out. So far wishing I had destroyed her. Lots of work cleaning after pollen, it will never be a happy plant. Just my 2 cents. Keep it realz.

@@Resin_Randy, thanks man! Be sure to check back in a few weeks to see if I have harvested. I have some genetics on the way I’m intending to use on my next grow from 420 fast buds as well. Upcoming strains are Purple Lemonade, Orange Sherbet, and Wedding Cheescake.
Thanks for the support and happy growing!
@Tendy, thanks man! Appreciate the feed back. And any time always happy to help out a fellow grower if and when I can. Cheers and I’ll follow along with your grow
@KenSpliffeyJr, I love @sweetseeds they have been very cool with me. I can buy seeds all day but it’s nice to have someone throw ya some freebies ✌️🌱✌️ I have my last set in for the summer. Crystal Candy, Green Poison and Red Poison all by Sweetseeds 👀
@Growgirl1114, 🙏 thank you so much, and thanks for taking the time to check it out! Will be starting another grow soon With some different genetics, I have about 9 different strains at the moment to choose from so I just need to settle on what’s going in the pots next. Most likely will be running Wedding Cheesecake by 420 Fastbuds and Dark devil by Sweet Seeds
