Damaged stem. Help!!!!
Loulou84started grow question 5 years ago
Damaged stem help. Freak accident when a sock fell from the washing line and landed on my baby. 1 week old, stem bent right over at top but hasn't gone right through. Will it survive and how to I fix it? It's propped up using a pipe cleaner just now. Devastated

Don't worry at all you'll see how it heals the area and actually becomes bulkier and harder there. Soon you will be "damaging" stems on purpose, that's actually LST!

I use the clear medical tape they have it wherever it's very easy to take off and seems to be kinda perfect for me I also just snapped my main stem on my auto and quickly grabbed a popsicle stick as a splint and wrapped it with the tape tightly I've done it once before and it was almost completely separated at the break. Like someone stated earlier it actually heals and become what they call a knuckle I'll think hope that helps

The stem has no actual break but it was bent over. I noticed and tried to fix it within minutes big it happening. Is there a particular tape you'd recommend? Something porous? Will tape not damage the stem when it sticks to it?

Use a bit of tape to help it mend back together, not too tight and dont forget to remove once fully healed 👌

She should be fine, I had a similar incident not so long ago. As far as I see from the picture it's bent and broken but it wasn't ripped off, so the flow is a bit tightened but if there are no other problems like PH and overfeeding then you won't even remember that this happened 😀 Be more careful next time though.
Oh, and if the same thing will happen to you when the plant is a bit older - broken branches can be fixed with tape. I also had this many many times. A previous week last time 😁

Mister vs Dripper (Irrigation Solutions)Basically playing around with automatic irrigation ideas (Soil), the plan is to make an array of misters instead of drippers since they wont wet the soil completely unless i use like 4-5 of them for one pot.

opinion on bud maturity ?About 6 weeks since flip from flower and wanted to know if the orange/browning of the white pistils means that the bud has already reached its max size and will only ripen ,but bud sizes look pretty small to me does this mean yield will be low ? or am i just overthinking.
