  1. Hi my buddy gave my a plant that is about a month and half old and just didnt have a good enough light for it, it seems stretchy, but i put it under my900w led but somehow it got bent 3 quarters the way up the stem which help it for the closet, I seen techniques where some good can come from this if done right, bentbranch.jpg           should i tape it back up straight, or leave the brenh maybe it will start new tops i dunno

     
  2. As long as she makes her way back towards the light your golden. If you want to you can definitely tape the bend but that's up to you.

  3. IMO that ugly bitch needed it shes too lanky. Finish the job and pinch her tip off. Then let her go and she'll straighten out.

  4. ya buddy of mine just asked me if i could put it in with my autoflowers to keep in veg mode. his light wasnt powerful enough nor had enough space...... so what are the best things i can do to fix this plant for him
     
  5. If it's not your plant and your giving it back ask your friend... With a plant that lanky I would cut it in half and let the side branches develop.

  6. I would tape it with dark tape, duct tape OK.  I think it would be best if you taped it and supported it at the 90 degrees it is already at.  Then supercrop other branches that come to make it look like a Hanukah candle.  Super cropping is when you pinch a branch slightly, just enough to redirect it 60 to 90 degrees to allow lower growth to get gigher.  Where you pinch it will grow back a knuckle that acts like a super highway to the buds.  The broken branch will act like a supercrop and take longer to recover, but it could turn out for the best. 
     
  7. its funny you say that cause it is stiff as a rock and long and stretched out with no leafs its a shitty plant he wanted me do something with, but i did exactly that i broke it in half by accidnt. so i was worried but now i feel better it will fix itself eh thats awesome. and bush out
     
  8. You should cut the broken top off and clone it so you end up with a bushier plant and you have a second one.
     
  9. I'd re pot the thing too, it's going to
    Get root bound before u kno it
    And Ya u might as well just top the thing at like the 3rd node
