First grow, three northern lights in coco. Well I was low stress training, trying to get that even height on the stems, when I snapped the main stem two nodes down from the top. It looks like a perfect topping well enough above the node below the break. It now makes the plant even across the top, but ...
Today is the day I switch to 12/12 because the plants have reached my desired height (5 weeks from sprout). My concern is that it will stress the plant or stunt it just as I make the change to 12/12.
Is my concern legitimate? Of course there is nothing I can do at this point, the stem was relatively thick and snapped pretty much clean through. I was not able to heal with tape so I just had to remove it. I put a small square of duct tape over the broken stem to help the site heal.
