Well I took five plants out of my veg tent and I still had no room to train the remaining 3 so I went nuts pruning today :)...I removed a few large branches and defoliated the ends of the branches to slow growth then I split one of the fluxed plants in half

We'll see what happens now :laughtwo:

Thank you very much OZ :)

Here's a pic of the flux I split this morning...I'm not worried about it...I figure it will just make the joint stronger when it heals LOL

Lol.......I've got 2 IDENTICAL ones :) They've got big thick "knuckles" on them now that they've healed. All did was gently (a first for me being gentle lol) wire them back together. It worked el fantastico :)
 
Re: Jay233 Grow Jack Herer - NL x Skunk - THC Bomb - White Rhino - Critical - 600W HP

I've done that 3 times now. I was amazed everytime how it seemed to not even faze the girls!:high-five:
 
Re: Jay233 Grow Jack Herer - NL x Skunk - THC Bomb - White Rhino - Critical - 600W HP

Agreed mcloadie! I use the garden Teflon tape. It works wonders!:thumb:

You can wrap that split stem with Teflon thread tape......I've done that before and now I wrap em before that happens...LOL

That's a good idea....I might just leave it alone for now and then wrap it with the Teflon tape before I adjust the lst wires

Thanks McLoadie :high-five:

I'm the same way...except only when it comes to myself...I only spend money on my girls (girlfriend, dog, plants) ...luckily I just had to work on the sink the other day so I grabbed a fresh roll of Teflon tape :)

It was windy this summer and one day I was making the rounds and had a 12 foot plant split about 8" where it had formed a giant fork...like a slingshot. I wraped it and it lasted the rest of the season. After I whacked it down I removed the tape cuz I was gonna make a slingshot with it.....but it never healed together.........
 
Re: Jay233 Grow Jack Herer - NL x Skunk - THC Bomb - White Rhino - Critical - 600W HP

Mine don't seem to heal, but they seem to get stronger and keep thriving. :high-five:

I am also curious, I read that you disagree with removing damaged leaves. I found that interesting. The head of the horticultural department (at a college-doesn't mean he knows) was a colleague of mine, and he told me to always remove any damaged foliage as the plant has to work twice as hard to try and fix it. If it's removed the plant then concentrates on what's left giving it 100%. I've had many vegetable gardens and always found that to be true. Is it different with herb?:popcorn:

Yeah if the split isn't closed. the plant will form what's called "ram' s horn" callous growth...it will strengthen each side but not the crotch

...that must of been a huge plant :)

I have a plant question for you McLoadie...if you don't mind...I'll post it in a sec...gotta take the dog out

there are many theories about removing foliage, damaged...or un damaged. First, if you take a leaf from a plant....it's gonna get a message that it lost a leaf, energy is now redirected.......this is just theory too....the plant is going to get one of two messages; either I need to make another leaf, or as a natural plant process, leaves get older, yellow, and fall off naturally....and the plant doesn't replace em. If the plant gets a message....it will react in some manner...which takes energy....energy that would be directed somewhere else had it not received a message. That is why some...including myself...if I ever do remove a leaf before it falls off by itself I will sever it at the petiole...between the leaf and the axil. I have heard that this stops the message from going to the plant......and no energy is diverted. This is what I do; if the leaf looks like it's not adding to the plant processes....I may or may not take it off....it depends on how much time I have...and how many plants...LOL. When you get nearer harvest you could have a full time jib removing yellow leaves! I will say that I don't like spent leaves rotting in the top of my pots.....food for bugs and an environment for disease. For the greatest part, leaves are givers...not takers. Take a solar panel out of your grid and see what happens...you'll have less power than you did before........

I got one fem THC Bomb seed and I grew it out...it had some trouble in veg (twisting foliage)...so I put it into flower early...it grew out of the deformity and turned out to be a beautiful plant..excellent yield dispite it's short veg period...Very tight hard nugs...great smoke

I left some of the lower growth with the plant to maybe light shock it to hermie and hopefully produce fem seeds

I put it in the bathroom on the other side of the house under an led light (the light is small but has plenty of power to flower a larger plant...I have done it a couple times)

I gave it 24 hrs of light then put it on a 12/12 schedule...it gets a couple (light leaks) a night...it has been in there for two weeks...no sign of bananas

I have never tried to produce seeds before...I do not really know what I am doing :)

I also have a super critical that has been in flower for almost 3 weeks and I would like to shock it into producing seeds...I am trying to decide whether to pull out the THC Bomb and put in the super critical or just leave the bomb in and continue to flower the super critical

I highly respect your opinion McLoadie...any advice is greatly appreciated

Interesting jay, and I will tell you what I can; I've attempted the same thing, lights on, lights off, wilt......darkness for a coupla days...never got one to herm for me either. But...LOL, I have screwed up before....went into the room and turned the lights on when I was on a tangient about growing and probly quite loaded......1 friggen time...with the mexikush and it hermied. Other plants, same thing...no hermie. I think that it's strain specific myself.........I have some pollen...mexikush pollen....and I'm getting ready to breed everything I'm growing with it..........As for letting em go so they herm because of age.....my plants that I was trying that with...outdoors got whacked when someone got paranoid AND DID EM IN! I do know of a huge amount of buds that were left on outdoor plants to produce seeds...and I will contact this person to find out the results!
