Snapped main stem auto flower top or tape?

Zenpaii · Jul 20, 2021

You know the story I was doing LST and snapped my Taison auto the leaves at the top are wiltering question is should I keep it taped and see if it recovers or should I take it off completely it wasn't off completely but was hanging on by an edge. The plant is 30 days old what would you do in my position top or wait for recovery ?

Move the leaves so we can see where its broken please.

We had couple branches break too, but not the main stem... We used pipe cleaners as "crutches" and removed them after the injured areas calcified over the wounds, although I've heard of ppl using plumbers tape...

The reason I want to see it is because if you have no nodes below it, then you need to fix it or trash it.
If you have 2 or 3 nodes under it, then you can get away without it.

Fed this morning they are fed every day sometimes twice depending but next week will be the flush anyways before harvest I think I'm going to try ecothrive living soil next with a friend who reccomends it. there is too much prepping with Coco coir plus I'm going back into the office so won't be able to give them all my attention now

Every day? That seems excessive. It looks like you have a lockout from too much feeding. Closer pix would help verify, but yeah. Too much is worse than not enough.
Coco is different. I don't do coco, so I could be wrong on that, but I do know that too much is bad no matter if its coco or soil.

If you are going to soil, I recommend Roots Organic LUSH. It is a living soil.

Yea put fresh aloe in the wound and duct tape it together, it works good if you half snap a branch but i really cant say about mainstem, you will have to decide for yourself but autoflowers do not like stress and snaping a mainstem is the ultimate stress toping will add more stress but if it were mine i would go with the aloe and tape but its ur desision, good luck!

Yeah Coco from what I've been advised should be fed once a day as the medium needs to stay wet but it's just to much effort at this point it was going perfect until it hit flower and it just went weird so yeah also that soil you reccomended seems to be only sold most for US I'm from UK so I'll probs go with ECO thrive for now and if that doesn't go well I'll consider your option if I can find a regular stock here my mate is sponsered by eco thrive so I will get the medium on discount which is also a plus

Yeah, I've no idea what you have over there. If your mate is in the biz, go with his suggestions.
