Snapped Top Bud Emergency!

grownintheukstarted grow question 5 years ago

EMERGENCY!! I have just snapped the top bud on plant and it is hanging by a thread. Pics in diary. Any ideas or suggestions? Have tried leaning it on a another branch so it doesn't fall totally off or should i just cut it off??

I would cut it. The energy of that flower will flow to others, and make the other ones bigger in the end.

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Ideally u should try to place it bk together and secure it wit sum of ur green cable.. This can b tricky but if u treat like a splint eg, 1 straight piece over the break and to pieces either end to secure.. It will heal.. If it droops down n looks lifeless then simply take her off.. Other buds will use any energy that was meant for tgat flower.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀

All is not lost! Grab some duct tape and line it back up the best you can and tape that girl back together. With any luck she will repair and continue to grow! Cheers and good luck!

You can tape it together! It can survive still don't worry. In couple days you will see if it will wither or survive.

flowering fem lollipopping?First week flowering, should cut away the less exposed sprouts? Branch in pic 1 is almost totally hidden and you can see it being much smaller. Also not sure about cutting the two tiny sprouts in pic 2, there are many similar to those in other branches.

I've raised this plant with no training or pruning and she's growing like a champ. My question is is it too late or non beneficial to do any pruning at this stage. Also keep in mind I would not know what I'm doing aside from research and videos. Just don't want to harm her at all

I have questions about when to flush and finish my grow, I know it’s too early now 6.5 weeks into flower. Some of my top pistols are turning brown most are still white. Flush soon with ph water or wait? Can I give Molasses after I flush? Thanks guys.

Limiting Stretch Hello growers! I have three plants that are currently in their stretch and are getting too wide for the tent. If I were to slightly bend some of the cola branches towards the center to try and make the plant a bit more compact, would this hurt them in any way? Thanks in advance.

Too fast, too high So here's the question. The box height is 1.5M. plant is already 75cm + pot size. Apollo-1 is getting closer and closer to the lights, which I don't like. It has 35-40cm left till light panel. Do you recommend to super crop the center, main stem?Or do you have any other solution?

Slow my Grow I am having an unexpected emergency move. So now... I need to slow my vegetative growth without triggering flowering. Is it better to reduce the nutrients or have less light? I need to hold out a couple more weeks and they are getting very large fast.

Waterlogged plants I have aerated all four plants with a 1/4" dowel, added small amount of Hydrogen Peroxide. All four pots are still pretty full of water. Plant C is probably going to die but we'll wait and see. At any rate, growth on these plans has stopped. completely. Any thoughts are welcome.
