Two main branches split the stalk due to over training
TonkaSunstarted grow question 2 years ago
I topped an autoflower plant, and I over trained it. The plant stalk has split between the two main branches that are being trained. I removed the training wire hoping that the plant will heal itself. Is there anything else I should do or put on it to help it heal?

Unfortunately I've just experienced the same thing a week ago 😢.
Use some garden wire to keep them together, as long as it didn't break off they should keep growing.
During this week, be careful not to not cause any additional stress because it has had enough.
Additionally try to keep the environment as clean as possible because an "open wound" is more prone to diseases.
Good luck on the rest of your grow and hope you get some big yields.

Mend the split if it is still fresh. Should not top autos anyway. There is not enough time for them to redirect. Lst them heavily is best. Take a zip tie or piece of wire, and pull parts together. Remove any lst anchors. Training is done for on this plant. Just let it finish after mending. Autos do best in a coco or Hydro set up. The roots can't do enough in soil. It is just too heavy for them.

Use some tin foil for a cheap fix mate. Wrap it tight, remove it in a few weeks it'll have a big knuckle where that split was. Give her some calmag for the next week also just to be safe.

A cable tie, "not 100% needed" but, brace it someway so there's no more pull from both sides as they get heavy they'll put more stress on that. As for the split. Given time it'll go hard. And recover.
FYI after a few weeks. Remove cable tie, "or until you see it cutting into stem. You won't have to have it so tight, just enough so it won't get any worse.

Bending branchI decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

Outdoor growers: fim/top?I want to make sure to clarify that this question is only for outdoor growers with a photoperiod limited solely by the nature of the changing seasons.
Should I even bother with fim/topping? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Let me know your thoughts, or even better, resultsSetup. Outdoor

Brownish stem color after supercroppingIs it normal that the stem turns brownish at the bending site, on all four supercropped plants? It must be, since all flowers and leaves are looking perfectly healthy on the bent apexes, but still I wonder whether it may become weak spots later. Thanks!

Snapped (Superscropped) autoglowerWell, my idiot ass accidentally cropped (when you not break but flatten) the main stem during flower. The top of the stem.
I did it before to photoperiods, but i wonder, will it make a lot of stress? If so girl could be a hermo? If so, could it affect other girls later?

Forced supercrop due to lack of waterHello mates, one of my plants bent its branches due to lack of water (I wasn't at home for a few days), and three of them has broken, even partially RIPPED. I put a tape so it can recover from the damage. Should I worry about this? She looks fine after a day (straighten up).

Remove lowest autoflower shoots? Yes or no?Hi there!! I'm quite inexperienced when it comes to autoflowers..
What would you say.. when the stretch is done, should I prune (remove the lowest 2 shoots & secondary shoots)?
Normally I would do that to a photoperiod, but this one grows really quick. Thank you!! 😊

When to start training, I've got 6 of the FFs from fastbuds. Looking for some ideas or suggestions on how to approach this run, hoping for a mega yielTraining advice. I've been doing autos for a while and I'm used to lst.

I'm planning to do HST training to largest one of my plants, cos it is (to my joy) - too big. Other babies for, like, two times smaller now. I'll do this for the first time and I'm really nervous about it.

LSTGood day!
I have a question for experienced growers who've used LST.
The stem usually branches out to 2 branches, one of which is just one big leaf and the other branch has nodes & other branches.
Do you put the branch with the big leaf below the rest, above or prune it?
Thx!
