    Unhappy God Damn Wind!!

    Came home today to find my plastic grow house has shifted a foot or 2 in the gales that are going on at the mo. Thought it was weighed down enough but obviosly not. Anyway, i have been training a few branches tying up to the frame of the greenhouse and in the shift one of these has snapped at the join of the trunk. Ive done my best to tape it up and back together but have gone out to check on it after a couple of hours and it has properly wilted. Do we think this is the end of the branch or is there anyway of a recovery? Really annoyed as this branch was looking really good with bud sites all along it. Any thoughts or advice?

    Hadnt thought to spray with water, you live and learn I guess. To be honest the branch was hanging from a thread and dispite my efforts didnt look like it would ever recover so I have chopped it off. Hoping it is for the best as now ive been able to rotate the pot so that all 'heads' are in what sun light there is. Ive also repositioned the greenhouse and pegged/weighed it down much better so hopefully it wont be shifting again. Fed them today and promised myself I wont check on them before Wed as I'm looking in on them bout 3 times a day at the mo! Want to see some proper bud development in the next 5 days! Fingers crossed. Been meaning to get some pics up but having trouble uploading them. Files are prob to big I'm thinking?

    Just upload one at a time it should work, or resize em (says leafy who couldnt resize shit). Prob done best thing taking branch off it it was dead. And its suprising how a plant will just concentrate growth elsewere. Try get some pics up all the best leafy
