My buds are getting so heavy that one of the stems broke. The stem broke in two places and I notice that no fluid came out. It appeared to be dry. Does this mean there is a problem?
Ok cool! I already cut it off cause I had no answers. Plus i want to try it anyways lol. They definately eating and drinking so I think everything is ok. I just wanted to know if there was something I was doing wrong. Thanks Mr.GJIf the stems aren't completely broken you MIGHT be able to splint them (just like you would a broken bone). I did this on one of my plants (I fucked up and dropped my 600 watt HPS light on the poor plant and broke several stems -- I splinted them and they have all done fine. This was 5 weeks ago!) and it worked fine. As to the no liquid coming out issue, I wouldn't be concerned if the rest of the plant seems adequately hydrated. If the stems start looking bad, then just go ahead and remove the damaged stem/bud and keep going from there.
Not because of a broken stem with no sap shooting up. Watch for mold, pm, ect. If the buds above the break start to turn golden cut them off.Should I give them more water?
ONLY if the soil is DRY down 3-4 inches below the surface and the surface is sort of crusty. It's better to under-water than to over-water.Should I give them more water?
