SOMEONE PLS HELP, let me know how severely I've damaged her!!?

Was doing some LST and snapped the branch off which has left a gaping hole in my plant :/

Let me know someone how to fix maybe? Or do I leave it? Has this affected its overall strength?
It's in its 1st n half week of flower

hehe, I also snapped a fucking stem the first time I tried to bend/supercrop one...
I don't think you have caused too much damage with the exception of the fact you've lost a stem, just tape around the area you snapped the stem with masking tape to avoid the water/nutrients/blood if you will from running out of the plant too frequently.
You may have hindered the growth by a few days to a week but that should be about it.
Keep an eye on it, and if it gets worse and the plants look sick then start worrying.
For now just relax don't panic, you should be okay :)

Thats not low stress lol!
If it didn't come clean off like that you coulda splinted and taped it.
I use beeswax to cover gaping holes, but tar will work or you can just leave it but it can leave it open for infection

I've left her btw, we'll see how she gets on :) Just needed re assurance that I didn't kill her. Still, fucking guttering.

I'll keep posted how she turns out

Thanks again peeps

3M electrical tape. Cover the hole up tight , stretch the tape as you wind it around then leave it alone. It won't even miss a beat

I never liked putting a tape on that holds moisture. I've had problems with stem rot doing that.A breathable tape seems to work better or just letting nature take it's course.

Look into adding silica to your feeds if you plan on LST.

Thanks again guys. Just got some ultra violet auto seeds.. Now popped them into wet tissue!

Can someone let me know what these plants are like? BUD & YIELD
and are the hard to grow, is there anything special I should do with these? If not auto's in general - since I have only done feminized seeds in the past

Thanks in advance

That sucks... Is it right where she was initially topped? I have split mine in that area once or twice.

Lol. Most of have done it. I dropped a variac that weighs 8 pounds on a plant. Broke it all to pieces.

It will be OK. Next time tape the stem back on. Sometimes they will take.
