My biggest Texas Butter is having a bad week.
This is the second giant branch to snap off-- and it's definitely going to affect yield. :wall:
Given the amount of damage to the main stem, I wouldn't be surprised if this plant develops a fatal fungal infection.
The tree repair spray helps, but based on experience, I'd say she's only got a 50/50 chance.

Ouch, downer man. Sorry to see that, @Chunky Stool, tough break so to speak. :-(

My first time growing out Stardawg anything. The 3 I have going in my GH the Deputy, Sky Dweller and Night RIder are all kinda gangly and wirey, with very little natural symmetry. The Deputy has been more manageable and appears to lean to the BB side. They all need a lot of support, I'm expecting some fire though. The Deputy I grew out in my tent is great sativa smoke really love it.
I had the BB3 cut for a while, was surprised how stretchy and lanky she was, but not overly branchy. Was also surprised how it didn’t look that great growing, (good yields, though) or super crystally in the jar, (pretty nugs, not as frosty as I expected) but goddamn it was potent.

I lost a branch that size off of a C99. Our weather has turned to shit for the last 2 weeks. rained 8 out of 10 days straight. Gonna be a lot more snap off now with very little sun. They won't be able to hold any weight. Such a shame.
Yeah, it sucks for sure.

I've got other plants at risk of collapse -- and there's more rain in the forecast, which adds weight.
I need to engineer a new support system for the lower branches on my wide plants.
My 4 foot bamboo stakes are thin and flexible, which isn't ideal.

I've got a busted wind chime in the garage that needs to be recycled.
Hmm... the metal tubes are long and strong.

I've got an idea. :eyesmoke:

But dude, pvc schedule 40 if that metal is not ideal.

When people bring up duct tape as a miracle solution I always think of pvc pipe...my fix for many things duct tape can’t do. Or sheep and goat fence wire.

Mine are hanging like Willow trees. Raining now.
I miss the "reverse auctions". Buying a pack of seeds for cheap would make me feel better about now. lol

Wind can also be a total bitch for an outdoor grow.
Which reminds me, I've got one more 3 gallon grow bag to upgrade to a 10 gallon cloth pot.
The bags are awesome, but they're narrow which makes em easy to blow over.

people have to realise part of the reason the stardawg male is so good as breeding stock and the reason you see so many breeders using stardawg males is because its essentially an inbred line, chemdawg folded back into itself a bunch of times. therefore the offspring are very consistent. this comes through in the crosses, there will be a higher percentage of chemdawg traits in the offspring because the genetic history of each line.

when you do a cross your not just getting DNA from the mother and the father but their parents come into consideration as well, and this is even more apparent if you F2 them. we see a lot more consistent results breeding with stardawg because its genetic history is much more stable.

this is one of the reasons IBL's are so important for breeding purposes

F2’s can easily have throwbacks to more than one ancestral generation of recessive traits, also.
Every cannabis breeder should breed corn snakes, because that’s a hobby that has its genetics game on point. Of all the hobbyists I have encountered, as a group they have the best grasp of genetic inheritance. Maybe serious dog breeders, and cavy breeders do, but I don’t have exposure to those groups.

little off topic and aimed at you guys that run coco do you have any suggestions for a hydro type of system to auto feed coco.i know there are some growers on this thread.I love RDWC and any other medium less setups but have been interested in trying coco for a while to be able to get more plants into an area.Hard to do in DWC cause the buckets cant really be moved around.I like the idea of spacing plants out on the floor in an open room with overhead lighting to have freedom to move around and have plants in different stages of flowering.Ive seen the pots with the cages around them and think those are pretty cool.
I know coco has the be fed 3 times a day and treated like hydro to make it right using smaller pots and kinda letting everything run through.I just dont have time to babysit a garden 3 times a day.Any one can point me in the right direction or a link to setting something like this up would be awesome.
Don't know how to get back to our pm. Please send me another. Have pics
