Blue cheese - first grow - 3X3

[WshYu]

It was bent sideways

[2-Scoops]

So in response of bio I just moved my plants around and accidentally put a break into the stem. Is this going to heal?

Tape it up with some masking tape and let it be to its job it should heal in no time if its still connected hanging on and not snapped off plant altogether.

It was bent sideways

If stems just bent over and theirs no crack in it no need for tape it will right itself within a week no sweat.


I know Bio said light will or may scorch edge of your leaves on those long stems. Tbh i wouldn't sweat about that myself if that's it does.

Thank you as always! I managed to balance the stem!

I have moved them around to accommodate that as I made a mistake with the stem and just didn’t want to make any more mistake this far in the grow!

The pistols are white when will the dense nugs form as there isnt much aroma coming from the tent. Well nothing pungent.

Just the smell of plants



Thanks again

The middle plant is now at the front right

Smashing it for a first grow, buddy. Keep it up.

It probably does smell more than you think, you go nose blind to it quick enough. Give it another couple of weeks and the stink will really hit home.

Patience my friend. Big nugs will come. They are forming as we speak. You'll get nugs soon enough and they will bulk up/swell more, a few weeks before chop.

When it comes to bending branches, especially tougher, older ones, i like to use a couple of pencils and gently squeeze until i hear/feel it crack. Younger stems can be done easily in your fingers. Squeeze and gently twist until it flops over.

As scoops said, if it's visibly cracked, slap a bit of tape on it.

Carry on matey

Thank you for the positivity with my grow! I am loving the challenge to work things out! I have enjoyed the whole process so far! Thank you for the tip with pinching!


I wanted to contain the smell of the final product for drying. Shall I buy a small 2nd tent for drying so I can start on the second grow? Any suggestions with drying is much appreciated

I think I would do 4 next time as it helps with spacing the plants! But doing 5 again with a shorter veg would work really well! I can control the humidity this time so It should be golden this time around!

You dont need to buy another tent. You can if you like but other ways will work just fine. I have used cardboard boxes to great effect.
Get a large box or another tent, put some hanging lines in it and connect it via a bit of ducting to the intake on your tent. You may also get away with starting more while its drying in your tent as you dont need light and fans on before they pop their heads above ground.

With drying, the slower the better but things hardly ever go to plan. (Atleast for me) I try to get things as cool as possible, say, 15/16°c (almost impossible for me to get it cooler) and 55% RH.

Maybe dry in your tent and start the next ones in a box or small tent under a couple of T5 lights.

Here are some of my plants that I have bent the stems on, you have to be careful but if you squeeze the stem and then bend them it shouldn't snap, sometimes I will accidentally snap a stem in which case I just tape it back together and after a week or two it should be fully healed. It's really just something that you will learn with practice, maybe consider even growing a spare plant just to practice on? I think @2-Scoops already said this but anyway it helps keep the canopy even so you can give an equal amount of light to the top colas and also it sends hormones to the lower stems to make them stretch up to the canopy level (it does cause minor stress but will improve yield if done correctly). With cuttings the plants are usually uniform so it's not really needed but seedlings can vary in height quite a lot. Hope this helps, cheers

Thanks a bunch bio! I shall employ this once I’m more confident with dealing with plants!

On this occasion-
I accidentally lifted the plant into the light whilst I was shifting the plants around! I didn’t even get to pinch

Sadly it was caught under another branch just an over sight whilst I was bent down.
Tho all learn experiences!


Thanks a bunch bio! You guys are the best!
