@TheCaveMan, After super cropping the plant will grow bushier, produce more buds, and possibly even produce more THC! This is how the plant naturally responses to danger and protects itself. Growers take advantage of this technique to get bigger yields and more potent buds than would be produced otherwise.

I broke the main stem on number 2. Bandaged up!

Looking good. :seedling::+1::skin-tone-3: I wish you much luck and learning with your first grow. :crossed_fingers::skin-tone-3::seedling::brain:

@TheCaveMan, So you basically super cropped your main stem. If it continues to grow, which it is then you should get a lovely fat bud from that. :facepunch::skin-tone-3::sunglasses:

Hi buddy, your plants are just fine and looking healthy. From the pictures they don’t seem to be showing any sign of flowering but don’t worry, it’s been just 4th week. I had mine started flowering this time soon :ok_hand: Have a great on:star-struck:

@ReinDeer, Thanks for your input. Man, I'm certainly looking for those pistils every day now.

SO happy that it appears as though Number two is recovering well from a broken back . . . :+1:

Earlier in the week I increased nutes and caused nitrogen toxicity that I believe I caught soon enough to correct by reducing nutes to a minimal amount, add 3 ml of Cal-Mag+ and pH 5.9 ONLY. All 4 plants turned a dark forest green, the tops appeared wilted and the tips of the leaves were barely discoloring, but noticeable. Another lesson learned. Beware of the plant color INSIDE the tent w/ the Optic 4 LED ON. I didn't even notice the color darkening as it did until about a day - 1/2 later when I took them out to vacuum the run-off. At least I learn something new every day! :mask: Anyway, I believe since I noticed it so soon and backed off immediately on the nutes that they'll bounce right back. I just hate the thought of even more growth stunting, but hey, it is what it is. I'm learning!

@Puffer_Bill, Seriously? It was the main stem & it appears to have healed itself, How will this produce a fatter bud? (I honestly don't know)

She began to actually grow out of the bandaid as of this morning & she's pulling thru. I'll post pics of that today.

TheCaveMancommented

@Puffer_BillSorry to hear that. One door closes and another opens up, So now you enjoy your garden AND don't rely on anyone which is exactly my goal. Take care of myself & momma...:sunglasses:

@TheCaveMan, I spent most of my life training, free diving and playing rugby. Then a serious injury put all that to rest. I got idle. And taught myself CGI and how to grow and make my own medicines instead of buying them. I :green_heart: growing.

TheCaveMancommented

@Puffer_Bill, Yes sir!!! More than I ever thought I would. I'm more of a tech junky out of the 60-70s. I never had a true desire to garden until now. I absolutely love seeing the daily differences. I'm only LST-ing one plant after I broke the main stem on my second plant. I want them to get a little stronger 1st. However, the one that I have been trying to train is def packed w/ a lot more sites on it compared to the others.
