don't worry , she will bounce back. she was severly traumatized so what do you expect? a perky plant.? concider her an ICU patient at this point. Don't over water or give extra nutes or do anything different that you would have if she wasn't in this MVA
. She will bounce back quickly if you give her plenty of light and keep the temps and humidity dialed in adequately.

no, no noooo problem. that's what im here for... to help you. I was once just like you and would like to help you like others helped me in the beginning. I have been looking for a good devoted student, so maybe its you.
No don't change your light.. like I said stay ill, keep calm and hit the bong. No need for overthinking at this point, and don't do anything stupid. Keep things as planned and watch her heal. You can take off the band aid in a week. Its going to BLOW your fuckin mind when you see the amazing speed of regeneration in this weed. Its like Lucy. the weed plant I think can use at least 20 percent of its brain, def more then us dumb ass humans. That's just one of the reasons this plant is so special .. Im hitting the road for a few so might not have internet connection. Ill try but you might now hear from my until Sunday. Till then, relax and everythings going to be alright, just like Bob Marley said.
Peace

Thanks a lot and you said I could remove the bandaid in a week or so does that mean the zip tie too or is that a permanent "cast" lol

no you will need to remove the zip tie , in fact that was not a good idea to put on. its going to be hard to get off with a razor blade trying to cut it off and not cut through to the plants branch
. I think i made that mistake once before as well... You will have to be very very steady at the time you remove that ziptie . go very slowly . it will be like doing surgery.If you leave it on the branch would grow right into it and it would become part of the branch, looking kinda ugly an interfering with important nutrient transportation to the flowers. Im impressed with the healthy very rapid comeback and healing. She looks great from those strange angle pictures. what strain is it?

nice find with the AK47 seeds! I never tried it before but I know its won tons of awards. I wonder if it was an auto strain? but its all good if it is anyway cuz I grown out autos with a 18/6 12/12 cycle and they did spectacular.
Please post more full plant pictures straight on shots so I can see how tall she is. I think taking the tape and zip tie off 10 days post injury will be good. We can take a look at the wound and decide if it still need to be bound by twist tie (easiest to work with , tape is a sticky mess)
Im thinking veggin for at least another week especially since you messed with he lighting schedule for 2 days( too be on the safe side)
Things to consider about your situation im unaware of that determine ur veg time will be space and your personal time constraints (living situation, vacation plans, urgency in getting this medication completed for health reasons.) Remember she will get 3 times bigger in 12/12 then she is now (in most cases) unfortuelty I never grew AK47. I will need to do a lil research about the strain and I hope you do as well. keep on truckin!

very very nice. your pots are small. you will get root bound in them.
flip to 12/12 anyday now if you plan on staying in those cheap ugly pots. If you insist on staying in them I would take a drill gun and drill a bunch of holes into the sides making it an diy airpot.

I STRONGLY recommend transplanting them now into Canna COCO 2 gallon smartpots. Stay on 18/6 for 1 to 2 weeks after transplant. Get some Cal Mag Biotanicare , General Hydroponics Flora Nova Bloom some Home and Gardens Root excelarator and some Humboldt Countys own Sonic Bloom .
What is your tap ppm @?

I have to deal with what I have at the moment sadly...so if I switch to 12/12 the healing one will be ok? And still remove the bandaid in 10 days?
