So i am just over 4 weeks into the grow of an ak47xtrm auto...the main stem is as bid around as the average thumb..I have here in a bubble spa in a 2x2x4 grow tent...i have raised the lights as she has been near it for almost 2 weeks. I started tying the limbs down..well to my surprise i noticed 3 days ago the main stem split in two!!!..i thought the plant would die but it shows no effect..the leaves if anything or greener none are dying or wilting..is this normal.or has the proverbial shoe not dropped yet??

Just be careful when you tie. Pull them down by hand then secure them. That way you can feel when they’re getting close to snapping. Breaking during LST is common especially when going hard or when you’re new at it.

So when you tie them down you need to check them every couple days. Especially as the plant gets bigger and even during stretch. During stretch it can grow an inch per day. Adjust or loosen as needed.

That last pic gives me anxiety.

Are you able to get a bigger tent or it is what it is?

It does not look like it is flowering yet so it could potentially double in size.

The next couple weeks are going to be tough to manage in there.
