So ran into some serious troubles last night. I should have topped my plants early in veg, as now theyâ??re just huge monsters in bloom. I have one that is about 4 days away from my 5 day flush (9 days total to chop). Well last night I noticed it was getting pretty top heavy (stems are small and have been supported for some time), but decided it was something I could fix a day later. Shouldnâ??t have waited. I woke up this morning to see one plant had leaned so much, it actually brought the lid off the bucket. Of course it couldnâ??t just fall forward and land on the floor, it had to fall backwards and knock another plant down. So one had fallen straight to the ground, and bent its top cola at a 90 degree angle when it hit the wall on the way down. The other just had a bend in the stem, looked like it snapped slightly, but didnâ??t break off in any places.

Damage: Well, the most developed plant was bent in the middle of the stem, as well as the top cola actually being bent. It spent about 8 hours laying on the floor (while I slept), and all the leaves donâ??t look dead yet, but they are drooping really bad. The other one was just bent in the middle of the stem, no damage to the cola, and the leaves look better on this one (probably because it was still upright and not on the damn floor).

Armed with toothpicks, dowel rods, and Gorilla tape, I was able to get them standing on their own again.

So did I kill them, or is it too early to tell? Iâ??m worried since this happened so late in flowering, stress might trigger some hermies. Anyone care to calm my fears? Iâ??m 59 days into 12/12.
