My Happy Place

[cannibislover]

Broke a branch this morning, hope my brace works! Grrrr!!! But as you can see, big mama is doing great! Hopefully some buds will start forming soon! How long does it take?

 

[No Pain]

Your brace looks fine , it should knot up at that smashed point .

How long will it take to flower ? Well that depends on when you flipped to 12/12 and the strain .

 

[GhettoGro]

You have been flipped to 12/12 for 4 days, right? You need to use some LST on those plants. Especially the big one. They are about to stretch to 2 or 3 times the size they are now. Best to tie them over before they stretch. It will allow the side branches to catch up and even the canopy with multiple bud sites.

When they start stretching they grow very fast and big for the next couple of weeks.

They look very healthy. You should know the sex in a few days since you're at 12/12 now.

Bent the main stem trying "LST"...... very sad day. I bracrd same way I did the branch... the smashed part of the branch Is not gettin any vetter... looks worst... dark Times gentleman. . Dark Times indeed

 

[cannibislover]

Not the best picture.. But u can see where I fucked up.

 

[cannibislover]

Okay here is the close up of thr damage. ... looks like I scraped the stem up when I put the brace on.... I coated it in honey. I figured it would act like sap

 

[cannibislover]

Should have just left it alone...

 

[GhettoGro]

She will be just fine. These plants are amazingly resilient. Some people pinch the stems intentionally to effect yield. (supercropping)

As long as the stem isn't broken in half you're good to go. I would still work on getting her bent over more. A little bit per day if needed.

 

[cannibislover]

Any ways to reduce stress and facilitate repair growth?

 

[No Pain]

You just need to give her time . You will be fine .

 

[cannibislover]

So why is the stem black? I took off the brace. seems to be strong.. but as you can see the stem is black in spots... the brace scraped it when I put it on.. is the color normal?

On a happy note. They have started to bud

 

[No Pain]

A reaction to the Steele / aluminum brace ? Scaring ?

 

[cannibislover]

I have no clue, I'm just scared it's an infection.... If it gets worse, Ishould I top the plant?

 

[No Pain]

If you thinks it's an infection take a cue tip and rub some peroxide on the spots .. I can't say that it is or isn't .

 

[GhettoGro]

I agree with No Pain's first assumption. The marking seem to match where the wire brace was on the plant. As long as nothing else on the plant is showing this trait, I would not worry about it. Bruising or reaction to the metal possibly.

Update! Sorry guys and gals I havent posted many pictures, but absence makes the heart grow fonder.
So I moved the grow room because I had no more ceiling room and it was crowded lol! Also, I made a moveable stand for my 125w light so I can move it around the plants.. and its working fairly great!! I have noticed some upper leaves turning yellow. Should I get another nute? Any advice is welcome. Without further ado here are some pictures:

 

[cannibislover]

Peace out until next time folks! Toke one for me!

 

[cannibislover]

Oh yes.. by the way the stem harden right up. I was just being a worry wart.

 

[cannibislover]

The yellowing of those leaves looks like Copper deficiency should I be worried? But it doesn't look to be spreading fast. I've read a lot of conflicting ideas on the matter, I only worry that it could effect bud production.

Thanks for the advice guys

hi
they look good
maybe you have high PH in water and it locks out some nutrients?
