Hey guys and gals. I got home from work this afternoon only to discover my LED had fallen on to my girl and snapped the main stem . She is growing in a pc case with 2 x 20w cfl and a 20w (true) LED. She's also just started flowering. 4 or so budsites developing pistols. A secondary cola was burnt to a crisp and so I removed it along with 1 or 2 fan leaves. The main stem was kinda hanging on by a thread (hard outer skin). I immediately taped it up but I have no idea how long it stayed like that. Maximum 5 hours as she was fine when I left for work. wanted to hear from you guys if you think it's better to cut my losses and just try for a clone or two? Any advice to this sad sad stoner?

buy a bag of weed and smoke?...then stop trying to grow and 1/8 ounce that you can buy where your at... and cheer up ...a micro grow in a whatever pc box (bs) is equivalent to having a real grow (number of plants) ...the difference being a real grow will yield you ALOT ...and the micro BS WILL NOT... but the law charges you both the same and if it's legal where your at.....why not buy the shit.... and wait till you have your own place ....then you can do what you want how you want ...WHERE you want ....

Hey GhostfacePurps, I ended up with a micro grow due to an over crowded main grow. I got kinda attached to them and didn't have the heart to chuck them away so I figured fuck it and decided to try my hand at the micro thing. Appreciate the straightforward answer though it's not exactly what I'm looking for. My reasoning for growing micro is my own and I'd prefer an answer regarding the incident as apposed to everything else surrounding it. Ie - is there anything that can be done to help the plant or not Sent from my SM-G900H using Grasscity Forum mobile app
It's a crap shoot without seeing how bad the damage is. You did the right thing by taping it up. It will however most likely reduce yield. The plant will most likely take some of its energy to heal therefore affect bud production. Good luck.
Thanks for that! The damage is pretty bad. As I said, it's just hanging on by the outer skin on the one side. Nothing else to be done other than wait to see if she recovers ay? Sent from my SM-G900H using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Have the leaves on the main branch wilted? If they haven't you are fine... if they have you just gotta wait and see if it gets over the stress or not... I snapped one of my clones stems when it was tiny for shits and giggles and it healed just fine... it grew a big knot and is possibly the strongest point of the plant now. Grow journal
Thanks for the reply LedRoB82 Could it be too soon to tell if they're gonna wilt or not? Just happened a few hours ago. I'm stuck at work for the next 8 hours or so but I'll put up a pic when I get home. Checked out your grow journal. They look fantastic! Sent from my SM-G900H using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Thanks and yeah when you check later if the leaves look fine I wouldn't worry... if they are all limp and look like shit it's a tossup whether it heals or not. Idk how bad it was lol but they can take a lot. Grow journal
One last question if I may, do you think this will hurt yields or prolong my flowering time or both? Sent from my SM-G900H using Grasscity Forum mobile app
It'll probably stunt the yield some I'd guess more so depending if the main branch makes it or not... as for the finishing time I doubt it'll affect it to much since you weren't in flowering just starting to get into flower.
Legend man! *sends all the respect* Thanks a million Sent from my SM-G900H using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Hey guys. So I got home from work and she was in her dark cycle so I waited until this morning to have a look. Seems like the tape is holding her in place and that the leaves on the main stem are holding up alright. Slight drooping and bent tips but they don't seem to be wilting to me. Thoughts?

It's so sad to see her like half the size she was before the light fell on her Sent from my SM-G900H using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Don't feel bad I done worst I had a fly sticker fall on my female a couple years back and my most recent accident my 150 watt hps fell into my girl broke some top branches but surprised the main cola survived and well on the upside she healed after a couple days and grew back with vengeance and is my biggest female I ever grew inside yet Sent from my SM-J320R4 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Thanks guys. I don't feel so bad about this anymore . Just hope recovery and yield isn't affected too much, either way though, I'm happy she's gonna be just fine Sent from my SM-G900H using Grasscity Forum mobile app
How are they doing now just curious how well they recovered for ya Sent from my SM-J320R4 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Everything seems to be back on track. She's perked up and bud development is coming along nicely. I'm just not entirely certain when I should try remove the tape? Sent from my SM-G900H using Grasscity Forum mobile app
