I snapped the main stem during LST by accident
KenSpliffeyJrstarted grow question 4 years ago
Do you guys think my plant will recover with the main stem break? Details are in the journal but basically it completely snapped, was hanging by a thread of fibre. I used some allow and ducting tap that came with my exhaust.

I've done this to a couple plants over the years and more often then not the plant recovers. If you got that tape one there and the two pieces of stem tight together it should heal in a week or two. Keep tape on there for a while tho!!! If the top that broke off is wilting and leaves feel limp and soft likely it's been damaged too much

Most likely will recover. Did the same thing to a plant on my grow this round and she's a beast. Good instinct taping it up, if you've done that well, just leave it alone at this point.

The main stem and any stems can quickly recover from snapping , if the stem is not too broken then no need to add suport like tap or wire anf if the stem is really half broken and more then a little bit of support will help her to bounce back. Cannabis is very resiliant when it comes to little injuries like that . It would have been a problme in flowering because it could have stunted it but in your case the plant will slow down on the vertical growth during less than a week but the secondaries will take advantage of the situation to grow stronger.

Hi @KenSpliffeyJr yes it does. from her appearance, it seems to me that she will recover, the important thing in these situations is to be quick to fix the damage. she will recover. good luck mate ππ

How and when to train?Hi,
first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Too many buds because of LST? A yield full of popcorn buds??Should I cut off more buds to get a higher yield? I am afraid, that she will develope too many popcorn buds. Or is she looking allright and I can get a good yield without stressing her any more?

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 advanceπ

whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longerHey everyone,. I need your opinions on whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer. I think I may have trimmed the main stem too much to the side, and I'm a bit worried. The pictures and the video is in my diary if you have a look I'd be glad

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?

General questions about my growBased on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.a year ago
