How to repair after a topping?

[weed420420420420420]

Lets say I want to top a plant. But I'm too lazy to go to the grow store and get repair sap. Is there anything household I could use to paste over the cut?

I leave my plants alone after topping. I will feed them extra silica and algae to help with the stress.

I don't do anything specific either.
The plant will close the wound.

Never did nothing when I topped.
Never needed to yet.

Never used anything. Top and they bleed for a bit, seal up and move on. Since I've started using HLG lights I have no stress visible to my eyes from transplanting, topping or heavy defoliation or lolli popping. Use silica (DE) in my soil and a liquid silica when water seedlings and early veg for a few weeks and forget about it.

One time I seen black ants drill holes and make a whole network out of a plant. Going in at the bottom and coming out 20 different places up top. You can never be too careful.

Also I done seen corn worms make their home right in the hollow of the cut before it heals and wilt the entire top in a day or 2.

I seen some things.

If your indoors and got to worry about ants and corn worms you got bigger problems, lol.

I aint got no indoor plants in my constituency.

Spraying fulvic acid and Kelp at a 5:2 ratio the day before topping or defoliation helps tremendously with any stress. Triacontanol also helps with stress. Especially at transplant.

Hope this helps.

Whoever thought up "repair sap" is a scam artist.

When you top pinch or pull the smallest bit of the tip off you can.i never cut.

Repair sap is awesome... If you're growing bonsai trees. You use it to make artistic effects w/o the usual 'knuckle' from healing itself. For cannabis, no reason to use.
