im not completely new to growing but i havent had a full grow yet do to my last grow i over cared. Pruned a little to much and she got burned with out the veg to recover. But the other day i was thining out my plants a little and doing some LST for the first time since growing at 5 weeks i know a little late for LST and this was my first and only time i was going to trim the. Leaves back a little to help the shoots to get light to start growing out but unfortunately when i was securing the twine to the shoot to the side of the bucket i have her in it pulled off the main shoot and stripped some of the outer part of the stalk along with it i then cut the pulled off shoot into a clone and put it in my cloning cchamber [an old shopvac rigged with lights ] it came completely off so it wasnt a HST or a topping because theirs nothing left in the spot but i know this of course will effect the yield but since its my first start to finish grow im not to concerned with yield as much as producing healthy plants
So my.questions is has anyone else done this and did it turn out ok or should i cut her down into clones to try and save it. It.happend last night im not home now just thinking about it ill try and get a pic of it up later but its pretty straightforward what had happened they are healthy plants nice green bushy 9-11 fingers on the fan leaves. So . . . any advice i was thinking of putting floral tape on the wound to keep bubbles or bacteria to get in but not sure if this would make it worse or should i just not touch it
