ok my plant is about 21/2 to 3 weeks old now. about last week, the wind was really blowing and i wanted to tie it to a stake. (i really should have put it inside) so i had a small Q-tip and tied it with a peice of wire.(dumb idea) anyways i tied the wire too tight and it pinched the stem. when i took it off the stem had a crease in it and it was hanging over. so i tied it using a different method where you take a stiff piece of wire and bend it into a C shape and bned it perpendicular to the stem. then u put the stem into the C-shape. anyways the stem is ok now, but there is still a rip mark in the stem and growth as slowed A LOT. i think it is because i recently transplanted it to a larger pot. i think its caled transplant shock or something. ok so now the leaves are drooping more than they should. i dont think its the water because i watered it already. maybe im just overreacting. can somebody help? oh yea, the little oval shaped clothyldons(spelling)leaves are drying up.

Your problem sounds exactly like mine. Except i was giving my plants a stem bending treatment. And i accidently creased the stem on my most beatiful plant. It was a little over 2 inches. I woke up in the morning to find it limp and on the soil. So i quickly tied it to a toothpick with dental floss. It is still totally green, but some of the leaves are wilting. Has yours recovered? How long did it take? I just need to know how long it will take before it can stand up by itself without limping, because the toothpick is very bait. My plants are hidden in an indoor garden of other plants. Please help me if you can. THANK YOU!

well it took almost a week for it to recover. at the place were its creased at, it will thicken up to what almost looks like a scab. just keep it upright and healthy and your should be fine. to my understanding, cannabis is a very resiliant plant so it should be just fine
