Will this tape repair a broken stem?
MMSC16started grow question 7 days ago
Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

withink 48hours it'll probably have a strong enough knuckle to support itself. It'll be stronger than before. the only concern is leaving it on so long that the plant starts to grow around the duct tape or restricted by it. Easy enough to avoid.
Try to shape stems before putting the tie in place. No smashing or smooshing vascular tissue.. just bend in 2-3 spots around the corner/angle you want to form. the little plastic trainers are awesome for this, too. tie-downs just hold the form/shape and shouldn't have too much resistance initially.

Definitely worth a shot, but if it starts to really decline just cut the losses and you should be fine. Rest of the plant looks strong and healthy.

Its important that you maintain a tight contact between the 2 snapped stems for it to be able to heal

If the operation was successful those will usually stand back up within 24 hours. I snapped the same stem a second time while removing the tape during my last grow, but luckily it healed both times. I decided to not try removing the tape again which turned out to be fine for me.

To LST or not to LST?I have 2 healthy Automaria II, paradise seeds, 3 weeks after germination and 16 cm tall, on the balcony and I am tempted to bend one of them and practice some LST of FIMming to see the difference. I don’t know.. I don’t want to risk the final harvest quantity.. Any advise?

What is wrong with my plants? Buds look a bit off - nute burned 1 (2 others were not that affected) - can i defoliate since they are packed? (Autoflowers)First grow. Had many troubles along the way. Stretched seedling stage on 2 of them and discarded the third (planted a new strain after that, so 1 is 1-2 weeks behind the others). Now in flowering, the buds look weird? Any tips or advice is appreciated. Semi flushed them yesterday

Is that LST correct? (senna auto)My plant is 25 days old today, yesterday I did an LST, today it has adjusted and rearranged upwards again. I pulled the wire a little more, I want you to judge if this is correct or if I can adapt something better? (OBS: It's a Senna AUTO)

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!
