I snapped the main stem during LST by accident
KenSpliffeyJrstarted grow question 5 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 🙏👍

I’m fairly new growing cannabis. I’ve always grown autos in organic soil. I’ve always used LST. My question. If space isn’t an issue, what benefits are there to LST? Is it worth the effort? I’m not

Two phenos started flowering at 23 daysThey look just fine don't they? I mean a few top leaves have suffered some heat stress, and some leaves can seem a bit droopy for some reason (definitely not from overwatering). But the RH is only 30-35%, I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with that, lack of preferred RH.

When to stop LST? (Auto)When should i stop horizontal LST and let her main branches to vertically? i'd say she's well into preflower with pistils popping up everywhere and the smell getting noticable. LST hasn't gone this well in my previous grows so i'm not sure where to end it.

How to do "LST" on Autoflowering Plants ?Hello dear growdiaries community, so on my last question people recommended NOT to use "Topping" for Automatic Strains but infact only use "LST" my question would be how that works, do i just bend down the leaves with the little things on the stem (marked on picture) 😂 thanks.

Did I start LST too early?At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?
