SNAPPED MAIN STEM HALF WAY DURING WEEK 5 (still in Veg)
EmeraldGrowsstarted grow question 4 years ago
During LST I snapped the main stem of one of my Pineapple Express Autos. It very easily snapped almost completely off but it still has a few fibres left. I panicked &used duct tape and some sticks to keep it supported. Has anyone done this before? Is it successful? Yields effect?

I snapped a main stem a couple weeks before flower . Taped it back , it looked droopy for about 5 days then suddenly perked up . Now has some nice sized nugs along the stem :)
The tape should work and she will heal up in a few days . Good luck 👍🌱

How and when to train?Hi,
first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?9 months ago
