Medical Emergency!!

Ahhhh!

I went to my friends apartment today to check on the plants we are growing, and ahhh.. we have a fan controller box that we ordered from some computer case mod website, its like a small box with three knobs to control the speed of fans.. but anyways.

We had it glued on the inside of the growbox, so it wouldn't take up too much space. Well the damn glue gave out and sent the box down on one of our plants.. we only are growing two.

Anyhow, the plants biggest leaf is ripped in half, and a bunch of other leaves have rips in them as well. I guess the box was blocking the plant from light or something, cause the plant like bent around the box to get light. The plants only two weeks old, do you think the little guy can recover or is it pretty much on its way out?

Sorry if I flopped around, im kind of in a panic..

MJ has an amazing recovery rate for damaged stems and leaves.

One time I accidentally snapped the main stem in half except for the little tiny area that held it together... so I duct-tapped it back up and it actually healed from being snapped in half and taped together at a 90 degree angle.

The duct tape worked fine for me. It's not hard to remove.

..So how about last night we were rearranging our grow box and were messing with an extension cord. The prongs weren't completely going into the socket, so we forced it in.. There wasn't anything in the extension cord yet, but anyhow boom. Power goes out.

The breaker was old and fried out too, so we had to replace the breaker... but since it blew last night we couldnt buy a new breaker til this morning. So the plants had their 6 hour dark period, about 6 hours of light, and 11 hours of darkness...


Damn, whats next?

You're plant's fine. Just resume the regular light schedule.

I mean think about nature, it's never a perfect 18/6. There are cloudy days too.
