Hi,
need help here guys:unsure:, i had to train my tall ChemD x OG Kush again today as it was getting a little too close to the bulb (3rd time i've had to bend and fold stems), because i trained it side-ways this time it's caused a split in the main stem as the top half folded right over leaving a slightly open gash, i've had to prop the main cola area up with string, is it ok to put tape (thick black or that brown tape) around to act as a sort of plaster or will it be ok without?



Peace

use bandage(guaze) to wrap it, it breathes and you can keep it a little moist...tape dont breathe and its hard to get off when healed.

Thanks MG, pretty sure i've got some of that stuff in the cupboard, should i just tie it around slightly (not too tight)?

Peace

i had this once, just left it alone and it grew back together... But a bandage couldn't hurt...

cheers

tie it well enough so it acts as support

very true but it could also lead to a fungus because it is exposed to the elements

Hey midnightgardener, good idea with the gauze!

I had my light reflector fall on top of the plants some months back, right on week 1 of flower, and many stems were broken in more than one part. I used masking tape and dried stems as splinters to fix them up and they all recovered quite well. I left the tape on till the end with no problem.

Just done as you said MG and tied a little bit of gauze around the wound, the plant is fine thankfully, no wilting or anything, leaves standing to attention thank god (and the bonus it's took about a foot off the height), Marijuana is definately 1 tough plant

Peace
