Troutie's Green O'matic Stealth grow

I like what I'm seeing, keep it up trout.
Speaking of stems, have any of you guys ever had a slip up where a really good size branch gets yanked down and splits off from the main stem?
Then somehow survives if you prop it back .

I've pulled a couple leaved off while rearranging stuff but i've never ripped off a "major" stem. I only rip off one set of leaves max when i make this mistakes haha... usually they get hardly any light anyway so it's just a lil accidental pruning ^_^

One of my Exhale C02 bags fell down and kinda like pulled the branch OUT of the main stem on my Mex Haze.
The end of the brach was circular cone chaped(pointed end inside main stem)I caught it pretty quick.
So I was able to pull the branch back over itself and tie it to the other side of the pot, guess it fused back together alright.
It was one of the Thickest branches (doing major LST...working great) and it has not missed a beat, still growing quickly.
Just thought this was pretty awesome, seeing that it was tore out almost all the way.
cheers fella............
yeah i snapped THE main stem..... it was beyond repair and looked a right fucking state! (you can use duct tape... elastoplast... or Blu tac anything to stick snapped branches and they will heal its mental!)... but i had half a plant in one hand and the other half in the other.... LOL ..... but the bottom half went crazy and ended up being one of my better plants :-)

Cabinet was a little on the cool side this morning 69f (20.5c) ... thought it was due to the door popping open last night GRRRRRR! ...... 8hrs later still 69f with the door closed... turned off the second pair of fans ..... 74f 15 minutes later

drilled a hole in the reflector and made a hook from a piece of fairly heavy duty elecrical wire ... i passed it through the hole in the reflector and hooked into the lamp body .... then pulled the lamp up straight in the reflector and bent it so it couldn't pull back through ..... lamp is not saggin and hanging crooked anymore,

Cost nothing.... and cheered me up

knocked over the thermometer inside the cab last night............it cut one of the lower leaves against the side of the pot...and cut it almost in half :-( ........ sick as a pig, but i doubt if it will make a massive difference long term, as they seem to have shot up again over night :-) ... gonna have to move the lights again (but i'll get loose items out of the cab first this time!)

well much to my suprise they all needed water earlier, so i gave them a 1ltr dose of nutes each... second dose so far (it should be just short of full strength 1ml/1ltr grow- 1ml/1ltr bloom) ... hope they can handle it??

went in for a routine check, as i'm having trouble with lower then usual temp's :-( ....... had a good look around and noticed that i have roots sticking out of the bottom of my 11ltr pots ......... thats some serious roots!, i needs advise, is the fact roots are now exposed to the air going to affect the plant much, with it being so early on. i'm only 1/3 of the way into the grow? will it stress the plant when these roots dye off?

I wouldnt think to much, it sounds dumb to me but ill say it anyway, maybe you could take like a tub of some kind like cooking or some kind of rubbermaid and fill it with dirt then just put them on it, mite give them roots a little more room

yeah thats the first thing i thought of... but thought it would really mess me up for run off....and would pros dry out too quick to be useful, also though about cutting the bottom out of the pots and sticking them in larger pots .... but i'd more then do damage for sure.... think i'll leave it as it is and hope that its not going to cause any real problems :?
