Broken Branches

[Guest Wacked]

G'day all , I accidently broke a branch on my female , so i trimed it to about 3 inches in tall diped it in rooting powder and put it in a 2 inch pot of soil and put it back under my light , but it's growing a little head and not much more I have my lights set on a 12 hour cycle as I've got 3 beutifull plants nearly ready for harvest .

what I need to know is can I turn the clone back to a veg state ? as I would like some more of this for my next crop .

thanks Wacked

Yes, stick it under a Compact Fluoro on 24/0 it should show signs of turning back to veg within a couple of weeks depending on how far it's gone to head.

cheers Tom I'll put it in with my seedlings and see how I go , if it turns back great mate .

Like Tom said.

I've taken cuttings of head plants before with success, A few ripened before the veg growth started, But once rooted they all vegged up nicely.

[Guest Wacked]

Well it's grown really well 3 new sets of leaves but the head is still growing with it I read some where that it won't be any good for flowering but it would be ok if it was cloned again has , does anyone no if this is true ? it's under a 18 watt fluro 24 hours .

[Tom]

It looks like you need more light to force it back to veg, try adding another CF for a couple of weeks or so.

I'll put her under the hps as soon as the others have finished , it will be 12 weeks next wednesday this is the longest waiting period of the grow for me .

I'll see if I can get a pic of this one to . thanks heaps .

I dunno just how broken the branch was, but if it's still hangin on at all, you can splint the branch with a couple twigs, and using twist ties, or stick tape, hold it in place. Even the most horrendous breaks can be repaired, and amazingly, they will often produce a better crop on the broken branch than the others.

I've had it under a 18 watt tri-phousphor fluro and it's gowing quite well but it's new leaves don't have jaggered edges they and it's still growing resin glands on the centre stem I'll see what happens in the next 2 weeks as it's now under a 400 hps on 18/6 .
