Cannabis recovering after snapped main stem during LST

Follow-up cannabis check-in showing recovery after a snapped main stem during training. Callusing is visible and the canopy is still active.

🚨 Problem detected

Mechanical injury from a snapped main stem during LST

The photo clearly shows a broken main stem that has been partially healed or supported, with a callused break point and the rest of the plant still actively growing. This is now the dominant issue. The plant is recovering around the injury rather than declining from the earlier root-zone problem.

Expert confirmation

What would confirm this diagnosis

🔎 Check the break point for firmness and no softening or dark mush

🔎 Look for new growth above the break that stays turgid and green

🔎 Confirm nearby branches are not wilting from interrupted flow

Also possible

Residual slowdown from the earlier hydro pH/EC instability

Minor training stress on adjacent branches

Temporary reduced vigor while the stem heals

Important moments

Repeated check-ins are skipped. These are the useful turning points in this plant case.

🌿 Healthy growth

Jun 17

Mild root-zone oxygen limitation or gentle hydro slowdown

Slightly fuller canopy and more visible fresh tip growth; the slowdown looks stable to mildly improved.

Grower note

EC rises from ~0.74 → ~0.82 repeatedly. pH falls from ~6.1 → ~4.4 repeatedly. Doing full reservoir reset.

🧑‍🌾 Care change

Jun 18

Hydro reservoir imbalance causing root stress and slowed growth

Roots appear clean and viable, but the underlying issue is now better identified: reservoir instability is the likely driver of the slowdown.

Grower note

Accidently snapped the main stem while LSTing.
