HiddenMessagestarted grow question 6y ago
So I used LST and had the top tied down pretty far. while messing with the plants I accidentally hit it to hard breaking the main stem about 1/3 the way up from bottom. Instantly taped her back but curious if I should keep it off or what. It was and entire break, 2 pieces.

Oh snap! That is a gnarly break! You weren't kidding!😲 I have had a very bad break before...it basically snapped my plant in half..😄 fortunately it was a photoperiod plant and still had leaves and branches to work with and grow from.
The only advice I can give is to be careful with the hole because sometimes debris or disease can get in there and cause a big problem. So you might want to put something over it, especially since it looks dry and sort of healing up. You've still got 4 good branches to work with and grow off, it's just some extreme HST now.😁
P.s with the plant that has large fan leaves...remove some if they're blocking the light...everything keeps growing as long as you stay in veg, once you flip to 12/12 then you may want to choose your moves carefully.
Mistakes make us better growers, enjoy it.✌️
Happy growing.

hello,
Yes, you can keep the tape, it can work,
actually, you're doing a topping! let your plants rest for 1 to 2 weeks before starting the process again
Happy growing, I hope this helps you man!

@sweet_seeds RED POISON AYUDA CULTIVOhey, I need a bit of help. I planted both plants at the same time, but one stayed smaller. The other one has grown and I applied LST, and it's doing really well. It just has a yellow spot on the leaves, and I don't know what it could be. Help, please! I HAVE COCONUT SUBSTRATE, PERLITE, AND HUMUS.

Too many buds because of LST? A yield full of popcorn buds??Should I cut off more buds to get a higher yield? I am afraid, that she will develope too many popcorn buds. Or is she looking allright and I can get a good yield without stressing her any more?
(She is in her third flowering week)

Topping or LST after 1st toppingLast week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too.
I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?

Why do my autos take longer than everyone else with same strainIf you live in a different part of the states or heavy LST make your autos take longer to grow. I see all these diaries that at 7-8 week there’s is not only way smaller ( I only have the diaries going now) and they are finished way sooner than when I have grown them. Thank youOther.

LST - am I doing it right?I figured I could try training my plant by LST and since I am very new to this and generally don't want to kill my ladies could you please comment on the way I have done it? Plants held with plastic coated paper clips, because I am lazy but creative :) Also is it safe?

How can I make this better?How do my ladies look? They are on day 1 of week 6. I would like these plants to fill my 4x4 tent. My question is how much longer before you would flip? Also what are your options on LST, Super cropping, Lollipoping or any other ideas on how to improve quality and quantity.

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?
