Snapped main stem on a auto, should I keep it tape...
Stickanswered grow question 5 years ago
Hi @Ray28! I would give it a chance to recover. If you have some aloe vera (in gel) this can help to heal the wound. Put some aloe vera around the wound and use some electric tape to fix the stem. A support (strings, bamboo stick) will also increase recovery chances. If after a few days the broken stem doesn't seem to grow again, then consider removing it, you don't want your plant to drive all its energy into that cola. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊

The leaves have already dried up, it won't reattach the cola. As you said, not even hanging by a thread. It will act as a TOPing and produce side shots. We all have done it when learning to LST. Good luck mate

Leaves are dead, it won’t heal. The plant is still in Veg stage, it will send others shoots to the top don’t worry 😉

I would stabilize the stem for a week until it has repaired most damage and that sould be all you have to do.

Most times the Plant healf by herself... with alittle help of Tape and kinda rail to stabilize her. You see it into days later if it works or not. Most time it works, if it dont work just cut it away ( i planted some colas too
and they survivied) so, hemp is very resilant and most time her snapped branches heal

i would tap her , if you dont want buy something extra for that ,you can out some Honey in the space between it so that Air does not get in , you should not tap so tight but only that you get little space as possible :D ,the plant recovers fast if you act fast :D

I know that sucked when this happened. If it was me I would leave it. You don't want to add extra stress trying to take tape. I would buy some liquid seaweed and give it to her. This helps recover from many types of stress. Just keep her happy

Your opinions on when to harvestHi, I'd really like to know your opiniions on harvest. As a newbie I'm still trying to figure out when to chop her down. My goal is a strong psychoactive high with some body relexation (maybe 20% amber?). I think I will give her another week. What do you guys think? Thanks!

Browning stemI just came back after 10 days of holidays and unfortunately my ladies didn’t take well my absence even though they were watered.
One branch was totally withered then checking the stem I realized it was brown in a quite large part.

Feeding After Trauma QuestionI will feed super lightly tomorrow on August 7, but want to what other growers think.
Kaboom toppled over on August 3. I refrained from feeding to allow her time to stabilize and have only watered once since the fall. In your grower opinion, was waiting to feed necessary? thx 😊4 months ago

Is it safe to tweak your light cycle times when you flip?I'm getting ready to flip and was hoping to adjust the cycle time when I do. My light is currently on from midnight to 6pm, but would like to switch to 9am-9pm or 11am-11pm to better align with my schedule. Am I safe to adjust or should I keep it at 12am-12pm when I flip? Thanks!Other. General questions
