Well i went out to do a little maintanence on my babiez and today I used the bending technique on my biggest thai skunk... She is about 2ft tall and i bent her over a little below the halfway mark... I was a little concerned because she is 90 degrees and the stem did crack a little on the sides.. I will try and take some pics of her tommorow and the others they are doing really well but I wanted to know if I should be concerned about the cracking in the stem.... I found a nice Y branch off a tree and I have that supporting her weight at that angle so hopefully she just heals up... :) i know im probably overconcered but this my 1st grow so im probably over Anal on everythin lol
 
as long as your not one of these guys spraying nutrients and stuff all over his plants it will be fine otherwise there's a slight chance it would get rot started in the crack.
 
yea i havent foliar feed with any nutes but i just fed it first time last fri... but she is looks strong and im hoping with the support of that Y branch she heals but i will try and take pic 2morrow but could that crack rot and ruin the whole plant?
 
no worries man usually if im gonna do any bending i supercrop it a the spot where im gonna bend it.
this means actually snapping the pulp in the stem first, it will heal in a knot, ur lower branches will blow up, and u will have a nice bushy girl
 
hehe thx i will sleep better knowing that 2nite... so you think it will heal like a bubble.... so thats kinda like scarring... that is good to know but i will be watching her the next couple of days... I have her somewhere where she is getting almost max sun throughout the day its a very nice spot I only have her and one other girl the others are in a more subtle spot but still get good sun
