LST bending
ZigkGrow
started grow question 6y ago
Is this too much bending? Is it possible to make the base straight and bend just the higher stem now?

Hey friend, Always remember to counteract your bend from opposite side.In that way, your main stem will not fall like that.You can check in my diary how I done my LST.Happy growing... ✌️

Thats enough of a bend. I'd leave it and just adjust the secondary branches as needed. Happy growing.

Leaf Spots, weak color, and leaf ripple
Please help me identify possible causes of this: small spots on leaves, minor color fade (not burn) along edges, and strange 'ripple' effect. A user commented that he thought my plants looked deficient but hasn't elaborated further yet. What might this be? Multiple issues?

Accidentally bent/squished the stem on Pheno #3, is it possible it can bounce back?
I was LST'ing the Purple Haze Pheno #3, I accidentally got a bend in the stem and it could have snapped or partially torn, I attached some photos hope these help. It was by accident, I have nerve damage and arthritis so I can't keep my hands still that much especially standing.

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?

Are my plants already starting to bloom or not?
I got 3 questions: 1) Do my plants actually bloom or not? 2) Do I need to add red light now? (For now I have 6 "cold" bulbs by 25 watts. Should I change all of them or just ad 2 for beginning?) 3) How can I boost stems growth or it's too late?

Well FML, pop goes the main stem.
Trying to bend a little bit more, then that dreaded sound, "pop". Like snapping a fresh carrot it is the sound of heart break. The tie had likely weakened that part of the stem, shouldn't be so aggressive. Any suggestions on how to nurse this break and mend my broken heart?
