My pre-flower auto’s main stem broke and I need advice
HappySkunkstarted grow question 2 years ago
I lst too hard it broke the main stem… i don’t have duct tape so I just used regular tape in a panic, but thinking of sacrificing the extra yield and top it where it broke? Just to make sure it focuses energy on the other shoots ans not on healing? Idk what the best option is.

So it looks like you've only got 2 nodes going below the break. If you go ahead with the snap, it doesn’t look like you'll be leaving your plant with much to recover with...
Don't panic, you have mostly stemmed the blood flow. At your next opportunity, grab some aluminium tape from the hardware store and seal the wound properly. I would expect a full recovery, I've had a couple of 50% breaks on my nodes that have clung on with something to seal the wound.

Grab some nursery tape from a garden store or the big box hardware store.
No worries on the injury, I accidently super cropped my main cola and she did fine. I needed to bend/super crop the cola again as it was reaching too close to the lights. Best of luck on the grow..

Thanks @banurnerphone .
I’m going to select you as my answer in half an hour no matter if you respond or not. Just wanted to ask one more thing in case I could get a lucky answer in: is there a reason for aluminium tape? Is the regular tape I’m using bad for the plant? Or is it just because it’s not as durable. I haven’t been able to google the answer. Just so I know how fast I have to act.
And you’re completely right that it broke above the 2nd node. Didn’t consider what you said about recovering with so little going for the plant under the break, so thanks!

Rusting leaves?What can I do to remedy this? Is it a calcium deficiency? I’ve been adding 5ml of cal/mag to a gallon of water, can I add more? Will the grow dots suddenly release lots of calcium? I’ve also top dressed with natures living soil flower power and worm castings.

Want Dense BudsZatanna is drying and smells great but her buds aren't as dense as I would like or thought they would be based on how they felt before harvest. I know light is a big factor it she was in sunlight for most of the grow. What can I do to get nice tight nugs?

Harvest timeIt's been around 8 weeks since flowering and to me the buds seem ready. However, these white pistils keep appearing and makes me think thank it's not ready. What do you think ? I also started watering just plain water, but i think i should go back to adding nutrients.

Should I restart feeding?I’m still not seeing the amber trichomes. And I’m afraid I harvested my last plant (first plant) too soon. It was two weeks behind the ak-47 which is in jars and I’ve stopped feeding two weeks after I did with her. Should I begin feeding again? Will doing so effect ripening?
