Old stem left from topping is cracking. What should I do?
Itchingtogrowstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hey guys I realized today that the old bit of stem left from the topping has started to crack and split. Do I need to be worried about this spreading to the rest of the stalk? Should I reinforce it somehow? I have it covered with duct tape to prevent anything from getting inside

Use some twine or garden wire to wrap the two bits together. Do not cover, it will heal itself over time. The reason for the twine/garden tie is to provide some support in the time it heals and to prevent the break from worsening as the flowers mature. Good luck!

It's fine, she will be healed and strong enough. No need to do anything to it, covering it with anything like tape will just increase the chances of mould or fungus developing under the tape due to the lack of air circulation. Plants have been coping with these sorts of problems for 1000s of years without help. Hope this helps,..... Organoman.

I see your split. Don't cover with tape. Possible use a zip tie or use some wire to pull branches together for support. As buds get heavier it will split more. Scotch tape is possible a option. Good luck and happy growing 🌲🌲🌲👊

Nothing to worry about! that's just the old broken stem drying out.
Covering it with tape will only increase the risk of mold.
Good luck and happy growing :)

Soil problemsSo I have switched my grow medium to soil and perlite from Bat-special. I give my plants 2L of water every 4 days but the soil never holds the water as all of it comes out the bottom. is this normal? there is so much runoff. 2L of water shouldn't be pouring out a 25L pot.

About NutrientsHello, there are two issues I'm curious about. First of all, does A.N Revive benefit the plant during the transplant process? 👽
My other question is, do you prefer Carboload or Budcandy? Is there any extra benefit to using both together? 🙌Week 2

Small EOL bananas, longer riping worth it?I've got some small bananas on my Euphoria from RQS (in my diary). I was close to harvest (probably in a few days). Do you think I can wait few more days for the trichomes to get more ripe without having to worry about pollination and microseeds? Just asking out of curiosity :)
