Split in mainline
Misanthropestarted grow question 2 years ago
Noticed this split at the base of Natasha's mainline. I don't think it's getting any bigger but I'm not sure. Should I cover the opening with tape to try and keep out water/bacteria? Ziptie around the stem to prevent further splitting?

Do not put tape on it, this can cause excess moisture to form and lead to fungal disease.
Putting a zip tie around can choke the stem and kill the plant above it in time.
My advice would be to do nothing.
Supporting the branches growing above this section of stem may help to prevent further splitting, if you feel as though you must do something.

Looks like an old split to me and has completely healed over. Now its just a scar so there is nothing to do.. Just gotta be careful when you do any LST to that side of the plant.

I would tie the splitting branch tight to the other branch to stop it from splitting farther

Those aren't bad ideas. You could also buy some tree wound salve to fill it with. That would do a fantastic job of making sure no botrytis will get into the plant through that wound.
I hope this helps.

The most I would do would be to perhaps support those two branches a bit somehow so there is no further strain on the split... I don't think you have to actually tape or otherwise remedy the split itself - just do something so it doesn't get bigger...
Good luck!

I would do as mooncat said, leave it be and don't put any more stress on it.

Unless you put more force on it, it wont harm dont worry.
Fix if you like but you dont really need to.

Hi
I’ve seen you can get a pruning paste you actually put in the splits and it hardens and you can use all sorts of plants,
But I would say yes do what you can to support it people use all sorts if it works all good 👍
Beat of luck bro 🌱

New growth looking strange and growth slowed down (wilting?)The new growth of my plants are looking a bit strange, and growth seems to be slowed down.
Could this be that the light is too strong? Or can this happen if the humidity is too low?
I already installed an humidifier but looks like its not helping.
Whats going on?

Burned tips and white spotsHi, I have a auto plant in its 7th week. Today I noticed that it has burned tips. The white spots have been there for longer, I dont know if they are related to the same problem.
Im new to this and what I came up with is that the white spots could be a cal defincentcy?

Amber and still many clear trichomesApproaching harvest time and im confused with still seeing a lot of clear trichomes.
I identify already about 40%+ amber trichomes at the top of the main cola fading to 20% amber in the middle of it.
Lower buds/colas have 20% amber.
Am i just overreacting over nothing?

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)?
I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed).
Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.

i noticed brown bract/calyxes on one of my plants. (week 12, auto, 20 % amber)
Iwasnt't worried until I found them inside of some buds while checking for budrot.
Should I be concernend (cut the buds), or is this just the circle of the plant life or genetics?

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?
