  1. Was no stress training my plan spending them all horizontally tickets more vertical breast so I can make use of my grow spaceand I ended up breaking one of the tops of my plants!! It took me about 20 minutes to finally get this tape on but it seems pretty tight and secure. I'm not sure if I have it close enough to where it broke off to where it can mold together....I did my best..but pretty bumbed... looks dead:( hopefully I dont lose a lot of yield.... 1573611446511.jpg 1573611479402.jpg 1573611525097.jpg 1573611544058.jpg

  2. Is this an autoflower ?

    When I break an auto i typically cut my loss with the branch/top depending on the break , every auto I've broke and cut comes back with a vengeance and performs well

    I also use teflon plumber's tape to mend my plants , its a bit tricky to get on but it works very good .

  4. No they are saying you're fine bud. It'll recover. You can just take the bit you broke off, it'll heal and grow two tops where you broke the one

  6. I don't think it's going to recover guys... I already topped it and this is one of the two tops that bro.... 1573613742637.jpg 1573613766338.jpg

  8. For real rhino your plant will be fine. Just let it recover for the next week and you'll see how much growth you get for the trouble

  9. Thank you guys I appreciate it! Also, I'm working with a 200w CFL grow light fixture and a 4 bulb T5 fixture that's because I dont have much side lighting. I also have a 150 watt HPS but I'm not sure if I should turn it on right now or not or just wait until I start to flower them because I heard in veg they don't use HPS light very much? Also, when should I start to switch them over to flowering based on how much lighting I'm working with?? 200 w cfl rn with t5 side lighting. 1573615794454.jpg 1573615819571.jpg 1573615894486.jpg 1573615971320.jpg 1573616023767.jpg 1573616043444.jpg

  10. I suggest you let it get past the shock of the break under your t-5
    Then think about flipping

  11. How much "max height" am I working with with my setup??? I want a lot of colas when everything grows out, then switch them to flower at the perfect time

  12. They're also in 1 gallons... should I transplant them into 3 gallons soon??? I'm aiming them to be wide with a bunch of colas hahaha

  13. That top might not make it but the plant will and you'll most likely end up with multiple tops replacing the one that you snapped.
    These plants are very resilient sometimes you just need to leave them alone.

    It's called Low stress training not NO Stress. lol
