You're training WAY too aggressively. Duct tape. NOW.
Untie the stems that are above the split, tape the split so it doesn't get worse, and make sure your fertilizer has adequate potassium- it is important for the plant's immune system, to prevent disease from taking hold.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Anybody seen this before? Ok, for the past few weeks the main stem has been splitting, not on purpose. I have tipped it a few times and also training it. As soon as i saw the split i slacked of all the ties hoping it would heal itself. not the case. Since the splitting, the buds attached to the stems above the split are getting wierd little yellow spots on the leaves and the buds are gettin brown patches( looks as if its slowly dying.) Its in soil feeding it dutch master nutes ph 6.9 and 4 weeks into bud. 400w hps Rating: 5
