Accidentally super cropped my auto
Aragonstarted grow question 5y ago
Hello, I've accidentally snapped the main branch while doing some LST which resulted in an unwanted super crop. It's a Northern Lights auto and I'm worried it won't recover since it's already in flower. What do you guys think will the plant recover?

Plumbers tape does wonders for repairs. It should be ok but will take some time to heal. Buds on that branch may be a little behind the others but is should be ok. Very resilient plants. Cheers

SĂ, tranquilo, debes poner algo recto y firme por ejemplo un palillo de madera y ponerlo junto al tallo, despuĂ©s pones cinta adhesiva para que quede bien sujeto, sin apretar mucho, veras como en unos dĂas se recupera, un saludo

LSTGood day!
I have a question for experienced growers who've used LST.
The stem usually branches out to 2 branches, one of which is just one big leaf and the other branch has nodes & other branches.
Do you put the branch with the big leaf below the rest, above or prune it?
Thx!Leaves. Other

Two main branches split the stalk due to over trainingI topped an autoflower plant, and I over trained it. The plant stalk has split between the two main branches that are being trained. I removed the training wire hoping that the plant will heal itself. Is there anything else I should do or put on it to help it heal?Week 5

Training?How exactly should I go about this plant when it comes to training? I've not grown a fem in a while and I'm just looking for a full canopy (or as full as possible). I know about topping, fimming and tieing down the branches, but is there some other/better techniques?4y ago

Bending branchI decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏Techniques. LST

Why do you top your plants?This isn’t really a question but I just wanted to show you guys the effectiveness of LST/HST. I did an 8 cola mainline last grow, so I’m very familiar with topping.
This is definitely a good method to achieve a topped canopy while reducing veg time:)Techniques. HST
