Hey, man. Nice looking plants there!! I feel like I'm looking at my own log the way you take your pictures and the way your HPS just barely shows through on some of them. The plant looks of a similar strain as well. Anyway, looking good, man. Those flowers are really starting to grow. Lots of pistils! :D Just wait until the 6 week explosion...you will be a happy camper.
Damn, man...that sucks about that LST thing. I guess that just goes to show that you gotta keep your eye on your ropes when you are bending plants. It is a craft that requires frequent attention...which is why some growers don't even bother to do it.
One thing to keep in mind with LST obviously, is that it is going to much more of a daunting task during FLOWERING as opposed to vegetative state. Especially during the first three weeks. During the first three weeks of flowering, the plant grows to between twice and three times its size, so people thinking about LST during flowering want to keep this in mind so that the plant doesn't '"hang itself with its own rope!" I would probably removing any ropes that were used to LST during veg and add new ones for flowering, keeping an eye on how it grows.
Too bad you learned the hard way, Markass, but hey, we all do at one point or another and it's good for other's learning purposes! Gnarly stems there, bro...and your plant should be fine as long as no fungus or disease gets in through that opening. Tape it up and you should be fine. Good log, man. Be back to see more. Looking forward to seeing the last few weeks of your grow. I predict a very good yield for you, man, from what I've seen at least. :D:D:D
