Hi All! First post hope someone can advise. Growing in cabinet 2x3x6 400 watt.
Plant 3 weeks in to budding, starting to get some nice bud sites but tops were close to light and starting to burn so I decided to wrap some wire around top stem and start bending horizontal to get away from light. At first this seemed to work flowers started popping up along the stem then a few days later flowers started to shrivel.
I noticed where I bent wire there was a pretty heavy-duty kink in the stem, think I might have cut of the tops supply of life juices. I loosened up wire and tried to straighten out kink but I fear its too late. Should I cut off top of plant? The part just above the kink? Or just let it die? I am thinking cutting top off will slow budding a little bit as plant recovers from shock but plant should bounce back with more buds on lower branches...... Right? Any thought or past experience on this.... thanks
