Re: Colo's First Attempt @ a Grow
It'll be fine. Keep it in the splint for a couple of days and it will recover completely. I dropped a 400W ballast on one of my girls once! She was bent over almost in half! I gently straightened her out and she was fine after a few days.
Don't forgot these plants are weeds and get trampleled, etc. out in the wild. As long as the stem isn't cut or completely crushed, a seedling will bounce right back. She'll probably give you a dirty look for a couple of days though until she forgives you.
Tragedy did strike though, as I was setting up the new lights. I idiotically left the plants underneath me and the light fell on top of it's frail body T_____T''' I hooked up some splints as ggrant showed but I kinda had to mess with it..a lot. It's got a sad droop but still upright...sorta. Is there anything I can do from keeping it from dying??? One still looks good and I planted a potential third that has yet to appear. Here's hoping >_<
