Grow QuestionsBreaking off upper two branches on LST after topping on Zombie Kush from Ripper Seeds

Breaking off upper two branches on LST after topping on Zombie Kush from Ripper Seeds

gluvajastarted grow question 4 months ago

When the plants are topped, do those upper two branches have to break off so easily on LST, exactly at the place where the nodes are on the two uppermost branches where the plant is topped? I'm angry because such a perfect plant has such a stupid flaw :(

erm did it break clean off ? I know this feeling being very clumsy when defoliating is my down fall i prob snap more banches that i dont mean to than i do haha but hey i dont think its the plants fault but if you wanna lessen the chanes of this happening in the future maybe look into a feed with slightly more silica in that will stregthen branches even more :) best of look buddy.

It will be fine, but it is your fault for over stretching it.

When it occurs, tape it up or otherwise hold it together as it heals. Looks like it healed up on its own. Leave more stem above a node when you top and it will more likely avoid this problem, but can still happen. I had a few plants split at top and didn't notice.. they healed on their own. The pressure over time from training can slowly cause it to happen. When you lst, shape the stem before tying it down -- weaken it but not as strenuously as HST. Bend in a few spots to shape it before tying it down.. reduce the constant stress on the node.

Autoflowers showing pistils at just 18 days, anyone else had flowering start so soon? Anything to worry about?I have 2 x Super Orange Haze Autos. All the autos I've grown previously haven't shown signs of flowering until around 30 days at least. These were showing pistils at day 18. Anyone else have experience with autos going into flower so soon? I assume they will be faster finishers?

IPM Advice for outdoor I'm looking for advice on IPM for my outdoor plants. They've not kicked into flower yet, and I want to be well-prepped beforehand to deal with any bugs that may attack my girls. Here we have thrips, spider mites, aphids and caterpillars mainly.

Too early to top?Is it too early to top the plant below the top nodes? Trying to not get ahead of myself or be too hasty since this is my first grow. Would it be worth it at this point or would it be better to get some more growth in?

Node distance and LST Wondering if I should do something to increase node distance. I see so many journals of people doing LST and their plants seem to be stretched so much more and it seems much more clear where and what to train. Is this ok? Good? Terrible?
