The storm fucked it up today...

It got affected by the rain the most i'd say, The tips were just so heavy. One of the very bottom branches couldn't handle the load, so she broke and then tore the side of the stalk all the way to the soil....

I'd like to know how yall think i did. I could use any tips/advice, this is my first time doing all of this and i am already enjoying it thoroughly

SO the storm ended up taking 4 branches out... I trimmed them up and now have them hanging... Do yall think this hurt the plant?

here is a pic of branches drying..

I dont have much experience growing outdoors but I would guess that the plant might slow down a little but not be too affected. Dont quote me on that though, how big is your plant? Anymore pics? Good luck!

Tom

its about 5 feet tall, had over 20 branches. here is another pic, before and after the branches broke off

I've heard of being able to repair a plant by duct taping it, it will aid in its self repairing quickly. I haven't had to try it before though.

duct tape, are you serious?
it can hold a hood on a 200mph nascar.

LOL I know but thats just what I heard through the "grape vine". Duct tape is like a magical substance lol. A grower I'm down with uses it when his bud get too heavy, and break, he ducts them back to the stem tightly, and they continue to live...some how.

it wasn't a break along the branch, it was where the branch connects to the stalk. then it tore along the bark and went all the way to the soil. I wasn't pleased . . .

If a branch is completely broken off you cannot magically heal it with duct tape for your information

Tom

The rest of the plant should be fine. One of mine (Etta) had a whole bunch of branches get broken off beyond what I could tape up/repair so they would keep growing but recovered just fine.

Nice plant!

thanks, i babied the shit out of her lol..

I hear ya. The amount of time I put into these plants from April to now is ridiculous, but it's been fun and interesting. My husband was laughing saying the priorities shifted to dog, husband to plants, dog, husband. I told him that the dog can't help trim, so really, it's husband, plants, dog. That made him feel better...LOL!

Hahaha, with a name like joebuck i wasn't expecting u being a chick.. Guess there are more female growers among us than i thought...


but yea, dogs do not trim well... mine likes to pinch my bag when im not lookin lol

yea i had tukey come crashing down on my netting i use for a roof and broke my bigggest bush right wehr it was topped so i used stirng it worked but duct tape would work better lol but it was a upsetting sight to see that

Just duct tape that bitch back together
hahahahahaha
thats the funniest shit ive read on this site yet

it will be ok,it will slow it down and you lost what could have been an extra ounce or what not of ripe bud but you will be ok

Dont worry about those branches!! Itd b no dif then an animal coming along and eating a branch or four. That plants got plenty of branches. Any reason its in a pot, or still staked? Looks good tho
