Extreme Super Cropped.....

[Military]

Hello everyone,
I just want to get a little input on what might happen to my plant

Well.. I had a hydro momma for some time now, and she was about 2 feet high.. nice and bushy.. MASSIVE ROOT BALL... the roots hung about .. 2 feet down when i took it out of the water.

So. I had to move her, and I decided to throw her outside in the soil

I waited a week or so and I noticed that she doubled in size, so I know she took very well to soil from hydro.

Now..yesterday, i went and checked on her and decided to do one nice super crop to her stalk...I felt the stalk and it felt pretty hard.. but it wasnt fully "woody" yet.


so i was at about half way on her stalk where i cropped her over.
When I did the super crop... stalk REALLY CRACKED.

Id say her stalk is about ... half inch thick.. and now after I cropped it there is about 2/3s of the insides exposed and only about 1/3 of the stalk still attached...

I have super cropped many times... and usually the stalk just ...belts over and not causing the one side of the stalk to straight up RIP and now be exposed.


From my experience... i feel that that area is just severly wounded now, way more then any average super cropping. I believe and feel that it will come back.. but will most likely take about 2 weeks maybe more before its fully healed...(normal super crop takes about a week...)

So any suggestions to what I should do to aid in its recovery.

These are things i have in mind to help it out for the next few weeks..

1- NOT MOVING OR TOUCHING THE PLANT AT ALL..
2- I pulled some long grass around it really tight.. giving it a little
protection from wind
3- I was planning on watering it tomorrow with a little guano mixed into the soil at the base.


any other thoughts to what i should do? Should I do anything to the extremely exposed CRACKED stalk?

Thanks everyone really.

love and light,

If its as broken as u say, I would consider propping it upright to let it heal.. Instead of hanging over. how far down the plant did you super crop?

Splint it, wrap some electrical tape around the split, and it will heal. These plants, and others too, are very resilient. You won't do that again now will you? haha
It's all good man. I would feed as you were planning to.

I think everything will be cool, and glad to hear that it took so well to the soil. I'll keep that in mind!

Peace

thanks everyone.

Ya i was thinking about splinting it.
im aware of there resiliency indeed :-D Hehe


And ya i cropped it about... half way up the stalk..

If It looks too far cropped I would splint it instead of risk losing half the plant. It will still benefit the plant in the long run, just may take a little longer to recover then a normal super crop..
