im not completely new to growing but i havent had a full grow yet do to my last grow i over cared. Pruned a little to much and she got burned with out the veg to recover. But the other day i was thining out my plants a little and doing some LST for the first time since growing at 5 weeks i know a little late for LST and this was my first and only time i was going to trim the. Leaves back a little to help the shoots to get light to start growing out but unfortunately when i was securing the twine to the shoot to the side of the bucket i have her in it pulled off the main shoot and stripped some of the outer part of the stalk along with it i then cut the pulled off shoot into a clone and put it in my cloning cchamber [an old shopvac rigged with lights ] it came completely off so it wasnt a HST or a topping because theirs nothing left in the spot but i know this of course will effect the yield but since its my first start to finish grow im not to concerned with yield as much as producing healthy plants
So my.questions is has anyone else done this and did it turn out ok or should i cut her down into clones to try and save it. It.happend last night im not home now just thinking about it ill try and get a pic of it up later but its pretty straightforward what had happened they are healthy plants nice green bushy 9-11 fingers on the fan leaves. So . . . any advice i was thinking of putting floral tape on the wound to keep bubbles or bacteria to get in but not sure if this would make it worse or should i just not touch it

Oh just so i dont get do reseach before i start i have been reading and researching for 2 years now. Im just putting what i have learned over the passed couple years but my main issue is finding the proper balance of over loving and not loving enough i got the watering down though just feeding is a little difficult i have. Been feeding to little i think or it could be the lights were not penetrating the canopy hence y i cut back a little to try that out first before over feeding. Oh i should tell you one more thing shes under a mix of cfls and daylight leds upwards of 400-500w total. And shes in a cococoir soil mix

Pics or it never happened - lol

Not quite sure what it looks like but these plants will recover very quickly if you crack a branch, just tape, prop or both and let it sit for a week to recover.

I finished an outdoor plant that got hit by a tree branch during a storm last summer, about 5 weeks into flowering. It broke off about 1/4 of the plant which wasn't recoverable but broke/cracked several branches, some almost all the way through. I propped it up to reduce the stress, used string and tape to let it heal and carried on, saved about 3/4 of the original plant and still got a decent yield. They recover/heal quick so I wouldn't be in a hurry to chop it. Plant I'm talking about is not the left.
