Hard wind almost broke totally apex cause of a hea...
Stickanswered grow question 5 years ago
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

Just Stopped Stretch! - Gotta Do, What I Gotta Do?Against protocol I have hacked on this plant in Week 8. Way branchy! I got into pruning a dozen long scraggly lower runners. I could take out another 12+ wimpy branches easy and open it up good bit for light/air - and then leave it alone? Much anticipated waste, so gamble?Week 8

Light DefoliationLooking for suggestions and opinions on "light defoliation".
What percentage of leaves are removed during a light defoliation? This is for my short bushy Wedding Glue. Should I just remove the biggest fan leaves and call it a day? Thanks all!

Defoliate now?I normally don't ask more than one question a week, but I believe I'm at a critical point with my wedding glue. She hasn't grown at all in the last 2 days at 14.5". I haven't defoliated yet because of stretch, but I think she's done. Should I defoliate or wait a few more days?

To Defol or Not to Defol? That is the question.Week 10 question for Wedding Glue.
I know there is a lot of controversy over trimming autoflowers. Let's say it's semi safe. She's super bushy again. Should I do another defoliation? OR wait another few days? I'm worried about timing. I have very little left. Thanks all!

LollipoppingThe plant on the right is growing colas on top of colas and isn’t stopping. Some of the bottom ones are pretty large but haven’t been able to make it up through to the rest. Should I do some serious lollipop and get rid of all the bottom grow no matter how big it is?

Defoliation of bushy plant during week 1 floweringI flipped my girls to flower 5 days ago and been lightly defoliating the big one (top right) over the last 4 days (plucking lower fan leaves and those blocking bud sites from the light, about 10 leaves a session) Was it a bad move considering I already flipped to flower?

I defoliated and removed lower, small, shaded bud sites during the first 3 days of flower. Was it a bad move considering the plant is bushy as heck and hasn’t stretched yet? Left about 25 « tops » (2 actual main colas) with some growth right underneath. Did I hurt my future yield

General questions about my growBased on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.2 years ago
