Hard wind almost broke totally apex cause of a hea...

KorsRstarted grow question 5 years ago

Hard wind almost broke totally apex cause of a heavy LST, fixed it with some tape and removed it after a week. Is that real bad or something bad could happen ? 😬

Hi @KorsR! Well, these things happen. You've experienced one of the downsides of LST, pine-shaped plants in their natural design are much more resistant to excessive winds. You should have soaked the broken parts with aloe vera or rooting hormones to speed up the suture. I would have left the tape more than a week, at least 10-12 days. You can still help that stem with a bamboo stick to support the weight and prevent further accidents to happen. In case of a full recovery, that stem will be able to produce buds, but the whole process of flowering will be delayed by a few weeks, so be patient and keep up the good cares! Keep us updated, happy growing 👊

hey there KorsR, actually as long as the stem heals only good things will come of it. 1. The plant thinking the top's been snapped off will "not notice" that it's still there and it will get larger as a result 2. the plant thinks it's under attack and responds by producing trichomes so actually the plant gets more potent. Only good things will come of this growmie. Hope this helps ! 🚀

I know this feeling. But u don't have to worry plant will heal itself. I would put tape back till she is healed 100%. The only draw back is you are growing an auto plant so the extra hst in flowering then broke a branch you will be lowering your healed to what she could have produced if she was 100% healthy. Just give her tlc from now till harvest no more training and you can still produce some descent smoke.

Cannabis is extremely resilient. It's just some kind of unwanted HST that happened, nothing bad. Just check some of my diaries, sometimes when I scrog my plants , I have to break some stems and split the main stem in half it's called HST or Supercropping . So no worries bro, have fun and a happy growing 😉

The leaves are still green and as long as there is new growth, it will be fine. I would keep it taped until it's fully healed

Near Schwazz Week 6 - Autoflower My plant grew massively the first 4 weeks, and leaves became jammed regardless of my training techniques. A medium defoliation, turned into a massacre! Growth slowed last two days - almost up to speed again. What will come of a near "Schwazz" in early week 6 (auto), in the end?

How much / often should I be defoliating?Currently on my 2nd grow. How often should I be defoliating? I did a big defoliation at the start of flower, but it seems like after a week they've grown it all back. I'm worried I will stress them out if I defoliate too much. Do I hold off a week or 2 before doing more?

Defoliate before harverst Does make any difference when you cut completely all leaves during the last week ? I read somewhere that you can avoid excess nutrients taste in your buds but I'm not sure.. Thank you in advance my fellow growers !

Late defoliation?I didn't pay as much attention to defoliation during veg stage as I would have liked, instead I kind of picked leaves out here and there all through flowering. Should I have left it altogether after missing timing or as long as you don't cause too much stress it should be OK?

Defoliation?Day 21 of flower, do I need to do any further defoliation? Everything looks connected to a bud site so I'm apprehensive about removing anything else. Afraid of running into PM at some point as weather gets warmer and RH rises. At 45-55rh now. May get a small dehumidifier soon.
