ive used a shit load of cloning gel
iv put it into a all in one soil mix

Just put it back on the plant, graft it, I'll get the link.

2 late for that made a giant clone and giant clone tent to keep the humidaty up
also there still like 2ft of the plant left in the aqua farm its all in the pix i posted

well the graft mite take or the clone but itll set it back awhile and youll have to trim so itll keep up but why was it to tall? and oh yeah it mite react like a highstress plant and thicken up or it could go hermie later on damn dude

cause my light was at its highest point the plant was still growing taller everyday and burning leaves wish i would of just topped it instead of trying to bend the fucker its all about learning from my mistakes though gonna give them a week of veg if the top dont pick up will sling it gonna give it 4 day if no sign of lookin any better think it will need to get binned will keep ya posted

i no switching it back to 18/6 might turn it hermie but what do you mean buy a highstress plant is that a good or a bad thing

if it takes to the stress bacically you accidentally topped what happened was the stem was already woody( hardened) the only pliable part was prolly the top 10 to 15 inches but if it takes as a hst like topping itll grow two tops back maybe and id defiently give that thing a week and a half to two weeks to take clone cus it was in flower so it has to revert and grow roots instead of jus having to grow roots at all
and damn dude that sucks bout the light i thought you had a whole room setup from the looks look in to supercropping tho for next time itll be easier to do quick control bends

did look into it a pinched round the stem and bent it very slowly and i heard a crack i went to get somthing to support it and when i got back it was on the floor you got any good links i could read up on it would really helpfull

any way atleast i still got a pretty good bottom half of the plant just hope it dont become a ladyboy it might benifit from a week or so back in veg

ill post em in a second i gotta find em in the bookmarks haha and its did you try to supercrop the plant down that low or were you jus tryin to do a lil bit cus when there older you can only work a lil bit and its gotta be super easy or well this happens

and well if it does herm pick the balls til the end and let it seed up youll get some seeds that way to grow some more and it looks like itd be a good outdoor too
