I have an outdoor plant- I am feeding it Fox Farm-Grow Big according to directions and it is doing greeeeat.. Except.... 4 of the lowest branches on the plant have broke - where they meet the main stem.. Not sure what is causing it- A couple I probably accidently broke myself.. Anyway- is it a sign of something? Or could it be those low branches were too heavy because of their height?

Any info/suggestions would be appreciated :)

I have attached a photo of the breaks & a pic of the plant as well... its my 1st outdoor palnt ( I have minimal indoor experience) and so far so good (aside from the breaks).. How does it look to you all?

Thanks again, ;)

Well I wouldnt worrie about it. Those wounds she has from were the branch snapd might be a problem. They can get mold and disease easy in those spots so you might wanna watch that. But like I said wouldnt worrie about it.. try not to break anymore branches.

GL and looking good :jointsmile:

Get that baby into a bigger pot with some fresh soil and she'll get even bigger!!

go for a gallon every foot, and then add a gallon more so it can grow another foot before you need to transplant it again, id actually go for just a 5 gallon bucket and drill some holes in the bottom

would a shorter wider pot also be good to use ...say like a pot thats about that size of a car tire but a bit taller? i have height issuse's in my space so i cant use any tall pots.
