Tallo principal partido!

nonick123started grow question 2 years ago

Ayer me encontré el tallo principal partido por la mitad! 😮 Hay mucha tensión porque las dos ramas superiores se han hecho muy grandes y pesan mucho tras topping y supercropping Lo he atado con un cable metalico recubierto de plastico ¿Haríais algo más para ayudarla?

amigo! las soluciones que te han dado funcionan muy bien, la proxima cuando hagas el corte apical a medida que los dos tallos crecen ves atandolos, es el movimiento onduleante de los dos tallos lo que parte el tallo principal a veces he usado papel film ya que dicen que no puede entrar humedad o se pudriria, pero nunca lo he probado, en ese punto usaria estacas para ayudar al tallo principal a soportar el peso de esas dos ramas, en mi caso yo planto en balcon por ende me voy ayudando con la baranda para ir atando y soportando ramas. Saludos y buenos humos!

Bons fumos companheiro. Bem se fosse eu, fazia uns suportes, como umas estacas de madeira, predia ao vaso, ou uma estrutura quadrada em volta venda do chão, que até podera abrir mais sua planta. Mantina arame até será calo, depois retiva. E quando ganhar flor, com seu peço, problema agrava. Plantas não gosta muito de pressão, irá chegar ao ponto, que planta cria força para suportar seu peso, mas até lá reduz crecimento. Boas produçães, plantas felizes

Wire works great. Don't use duck tape as it is not breathable. That spot will be very weak the rest of the grow. The wire should not sever her. Just keep it firm around the split the rest of grow. I have had to do this a few times before. 👍🏻🌱

I would have done the same more or less, next time it's better if you put a piece of fabric between your plant and wire so you don't cut her with it, I even used normal glue and it worked without a problem (mystery seeds diary) good luck 🍀🤞

As she grows Shes going to grow into and around that cable, so make sure you loosen it up and remove it at some point. You don't want the plant to sever itself. Use some duct tape. I would think you wouldn't want any light getting in between the split.

I'd be tempted to use surgical tape as it's porous and will stretch if the main gets bigger

Top the plant again or not?Hello growers, I have a question, I already top this 2 plants and I’m doing lst, and later I’ll use the scrog, but can I top it again? Should I do it or isn’t worth it? I read it could lower the finally quantity yield, and that is some stress to the plant. Is it worth?

First time topping My second grow ever (and first photo period attempt) involves these White Widows. I want to top these at least twice. Currently have 3 multi leaf nodes. When's a good time to do the first - and then the second - topping? I've heard several opinions. Maybe I could do 3? Thx

Should I top her a second time?I know some people believe topping autos is a bad idea but so far I've had great results. I have only ever topped autoflowers a single time. Never twice. Wondering if anyone has experience with topping more than once? If so, how did it turn out?

Day 31: Top After a FIM-job?Could I top this FIM from a week ago? I have lateralized all her branches, but feel there is a lot of catching up to do. Branch spread is ideal for this grow space, but comparatively low. Am I really effecting yield, if I am satisficed with the growth in place and take the top?
