Maybe this is too young? I don't know, I read you can do it from seedling stage. After I proceeded to do it, I was afraid I may have killed my baby. Uhoh, can anyone help at allll?
you're probably fine, i just accidently snapped one of my plants stems like that, i just tied it up to a stake and in a couple days it was healthy as fuck again
I dk, to make the stem stronger. I checked back a few hours after I trained it that way, and put a bent piece of hanger around it, so I guess the lst has begun. The top was straight upward, so I think that is a good thing.
To make the stem stronger put a fan on it..... super cropping at that age will kill it. SC is not done until the main stem can handle it.... twist them the stem until ya feel a pop... on something that small ya won't feel a pop,,, more like smush, lol. She'll recover! Plus, I think it's BS. But that's my opinion
check out my tread on SC for some useful info...and when i have a plant fall over i usualy leave it ther and it will repair itself like that and you dont have to worry about handling it but the wire or steak thing works...happy growing
hey how did it go? i have babies about the same age and i was wondering if yours survived? is it too soon? or did it work wonderfully
i think thats a bit too young and i dont think that supercropping it in that area is the correct way either, u bent it under the first leaves, i think your suppose to do it between the first and second set of true leaves
Yeah, my plant survived. Not sure how this will make a difference, but the pics are updated in my grow journal...its in my sig.
your plant pumps sugars to the site of an injury and makes it thick and strong in that spot...and a pinch will activate genes that produce more buds
