Plant tie cut into stem during LST

I was doing LST on one of my young plants and the twist tie cut into the stem a bit. The plant is only 2 and a half weeks old and it’s the wound is really small so it’s hard to get a picture of it. Just wondering how long it will take to heal and if it will effect growth? Thanks.

it will grow stronger

You can use soft plant ties, but I usually just use yarn.

thanks. Y’all are always here to help me lol I love it.

you think it’ll stunt growth at all?

Hi,

Ive tried posting on other forum pages, awaiting responses. Have a 3-4ft tall plant that had a small snap on one of the topped main branches a few months ago, and it looked to be recovering v well. Wound healed up and there was little effect on the plant itself, but recently around 2-3 weeks ago, I noticed that the branch that had been snapped had starting to droop and wilt and am not sure what may be causing this, and whether the branch will be able to bounce back. it looks to start flowering v soon and would like to get sorted, to harvest a much larger yield. As this is my first grow and am still learning new things and problems that you may encounter as a grower, so have come to seek the help of established growers that may know what the problem is. I will try to post some pics to show what the condition of the plant is in. Any help would be much appreciated. (Other post - TOPPED PLANT- ONE OF MAIN STEMS HAS DROOPED DURING FLOWERING) this also shows pics of the plants

Lst is low stress training, little by little, gental. Sounds like you did Hst. Live and learn...it will heal in time, just be more careful and do little at a time each day and you will have less issues.

Hi DDeck96, by the sounds of what you're describing, a small incision made by ties will gradually start to fatten up over a few weeks, just make sure water level are adequate, so the plant has enough to repair itself, and before you now it you wont even notice the small incision. It will slow the growing process but not enough to effect yeild, as i said it will no doubt take a few weeks to repair and carrying on growing again.
