Boomin!


The broken branche’s leaves are drying. Does that mean its not going to repair itself? :/


Otherwise the ladies are growing so vigorously!

Yeh, that's dead.

Once you get past a certain rigidity or loss of water molecule, there aint no comin back.

It won't do nothin' though, in a week, you won't even remember it, if you smoke like I do. LOL!

From there your plants should put on just about another foot(or double in size) in a week.

Really??? I heard it takes up to 10-14 days to repair itself. I didnt water her yesterday im trying to do a dry back should I be giving water to that one only?

The leaves are still wet just the tips of the most bottom one is drying

I have not watered today yet. I am thinking of doing a dry out to let the roots stretch a bit. For the outdoor I will give them some straight water to drop ec before doing that but my indoor runoff ec was 1.8

Will I be able to flip into flower if that branch is still not healed? I plan on flipping end of next week and they said it could take up to 2 weeks for it to heal. I pressed it back into its place and wrapped it with clear wrap and supported it with a wire tie.

My heart broke when that happened 💔

The branches are getting really strong with the silica
Water! Your EC climbs every hour that you don't water. If it's hot, EC climbs even more. You need to replace the old nutes with fresh adjusted nutes every day. I ran 3 gallon fabric bags that needed three 1L waterings a day to maintain the EC.

Your branch will heal, but you can't flip until that stressful moment is over for her. I've split some stalks late in veg and it sucks but I learned to bend branches slowly over time and doing it first thing in the morning when the branches are a little less rigid helps.

Yeah I know but I watched a vid on doing it when you transplant so I’m trying to do it just now. I feel like only a couple days wont hurt the ph too much i was good on runoff before i did it. 5.8 ph and 1.8 ec

Sometimes....

Within like an hour or two of breaking, you can "train" the wound to help reseal it, there are multiples of different methods of doing this... Some people use duct tape, some people use wax and then use cotton cordage and wrap it, they use wax to seal it...

Me??

I just tie the damn branch to the main stem or another stem.. or a screw in the wall or whatever it takes, but tie it in a way that merely holds the branch in place, after a few days, the "wound" will seal itself, and become like a gnarly scar...

I've also, when my plants have gotten too tall, go to the main stem and roll the stem around in my fingers to weaken it, then let the main kola flop over and repair itself in a few days, I have noticed though that will mostly stop or very much slow the growth to the main kola though, but still keep it alive enough to mature up.

However there is the added benefit of allowing the main growth hormone to migrate to the other tops.

Yeah I wanted to dry a bit because of the transplant but I dont wanna add any more stress.

So even if the tip of the very bottom leave is dry but the rest is still wet , it wil heal?

I did it instantly like 1 or 2 minutes after it happened.

As it snappped I held it in place and called my gf she brought over the tape and wrap and i instantly wrapped it and wire tied for support.

Aw i hope it heals. I dont know if i will get over it that fast -__- hahaha

You'll want to flip.... they will grow another 2/3rds at least.

Though I am not sure what strain you have, I always calculate for myself that if they are a foot tall, they will finish between 3 and 4 feet.

Unless they're Sativa... which means they will finish between 8 and 10... lol! Sometimes even 12.

I have Banana OG and Platinum Cookies.

I want to put a trellis on Monday and flip by the following week. That would be a 5 week veg.

Do you think they will grow much more in a week? Would I need to top again or will the trellis keep them from growing too tall?

Ok and when should I start defoliaring the leaves? They are starting to grow on eachother. I was going to wait after trellis so they grow a good amount and prevent any shock
