This is pretty much the tent set up for now one fan blowing out at about 325cfm (no carbon filter yet) and a crappy little space heater with a fan button you see in the corner a really old humidifier that’s keeping my tent at about 44% 72f and a 300w platnumed led the 3 in the middle are red libanaon regular auto by flash seeds and the Ones on the sides are royal queen seeds diesel fem (they are a week behind) I was planning on starting the fftrio on the red libs as soon as the buckets dry out

Belated Welcome!!

And congratulations on your first snappage!! .... awww i remember my first ... i was so nervous (*literally shaking*) .. poor little thing had a HPS light dropped on her!

I used some (very expensive) honey and carefully used sterilised medical dressing and medical tape and a cocktail stick for a splint. She was okay thank GOD!

Since then i've used, Sellotape, Masking Tape, Electrical Tape, a plaster, some string ... and a car park ticket (rofl ... that last one isn't true) among other things to repair my mistakes! ^_^

It happens to us all - Just cross your fingers and usuallyit's ok!!

Geez id probably cry if I dropped the light on em lol but yeah I was bending it and was like hmm that’s bending pretty easy no.. oh wait it’s broken wheres the glue but if you look reaaally close at the pic where my finger is pointing you can see the glue kind of shrunk itself around the plant stem which is what killed that leaf so I guess the opposite of a supercrop

so I guess the opposite of a supercrop

: rofl: ... no matter which way you look at that, it can't be a good thing

If it happens again, i'd say electrical tape (the black rubber type) is one of the best because you can cut a really small amount and just roll it round the broken stem .
Keep a small roll in your tent (i do)

Sometimes a break can be a good thing and it forces a repair that created a "knot or Nub" which acts like a super highway for nutes on that branch

So should I just leave it? Cuz the point where the knuckle would form is The part sort of shrunken in
