accidentally snapped off top cola

ricslat · #1 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 04:08 PM

I,m devastated...
10 days into flowering...
while waking her from her sleep,
I snapped her while pulling her from her dark corner in the barn.
decapitated top 6" of 3' supermodel elle'...
clean break, she felt no pain.
she was 90 days old...
I planted the cola in rain soaked miracle grow.
put bubble gum over the jutting stem above her shoulders.
she now sits in full sun with no head...I'm devastated.
should I send her back to veg?
this is my first grow and first post so if I do things wrong correct me please.
is there anyone with this unbelievably gut wrentching circumstance.
my day is ruined

The good news is that she probably won't DIE. LST her and get some bigger buds on the lower nodes.

should i go back to veg for the rest of the summer with her

ricslat · #7 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 05:00 PM

I lost little flowers ~6. she looks ok i'm shure she is in shock. do i continue flower? back to veg? did i just do one big top prune.

Vegging her will stunt your already stunted yield - keep her going on 12/12. She'll be ok.

that's what i figured...thanx...will the lower buds be better?...do you think the cola will root? there are 6 flower heads on it. wouldn't it be like a clone?

tonzeejee · #10 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 05:20 PM

That would be an interesting experiment. It will probably root, but will take a long time to do so. Try it! If you tie down some limbs horizontally to induce other buds to grow upward, they will become colas too.

her head looks like a weeping willow in the pot.. I have some plants on 24/7
I will put her head in there a night, sun durring day, If she makes it, may be a good thing? right now i'm devastated...looking for silver but all i see is lineing.
oh well, god bless and happy birthday AMERICA,

Press On
your only 10 days in, NO WORRIES, as in the practice of LST method when the top cola is tied down there is a race to be top cola by the secondary colas

same thing will happen with your plant, another cola will quickly take over and demand most of the nutes to become top cola

If she ever gets up again should i 24/7 or leave her out. my guess is 24/7 at night, outside durring day, I have plenty of open space

Ganja Guerrilla · #14 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 05:53 PM

no forget the 24/7 reveg, it stresses the plant, and it takes 2-3 weeks to switch back
youll loose more yield messing around.....as I stated press on with the bud cycle

ricslat · #15 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 06:05 PM

I mean the cola back to 24/7. do you mean if the cola rebounds to keep it in 12-12 cycle? or can i just leave her outdoors? where i live the photo period is ~15-9 I have some plants on12-12 like she was and her body still will be, I have some 6 weekers on 24-7.. where should her head go?
