help! Broken branches :(

[SkyGrly]

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,
Sky

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!!

Really? Do ya think? I'm scarrrrrrred to transplant it because of shock etc... and my luck I'll break more branches ~
but you probably know better then me.. I'm new to growin.. and some do think bigger is better..

How about my next plants get bigger pots? What size do you recommend?

Spanks,

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.
