Two main branches split the stalk due to over training
TonkaSunstarted grow question a year 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.

Accidentally super cropped my autoHello, I've accidentally snapped the main branch while doing some LST which resulted in an unwanted super crop. It's a Northern Lights auto and I'm worried it won't recover since it's already in flower. What do you guys think will the plant recover?

DreamOn
Broke Stem branch while main-liningNow it's standing straight up to heal
It's still growing and look healthy, but what recovery time should I expect?
Will it be strong enough to continue main-lining?
Should I just release the other branch?
Or wait until it's healed and continue?
Thanks for your tips and inputs!

Topping/LST in same week or one week apart?Regarding manifolding/mainlining:
Is there any difference or what would be preferred between:
Topping as early as possible in week1 and LST new growtips in week2 vs letting stuff grow out for 2 weeks and Top and LST new growtips at the same time? Cheers 👍4 years ago

Why do you top your plants?This isn’t really a question but I just wanted to show you guys the effectiveness of LST/HST. I did an 8 cola mainline last grow, so I’m very familiar with topping.
This is definitely a good method to achieve a topped canopy while reducing veg time:)

Training Automatics - best practices!Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you!
