Girlfriend damaged bine tip.

[hazedandconfused]

And now the tip is darkening and shriveling on my sterling. The rhizome was the last syerling the shop had and it was like an inch and a half long at most - so it only put off one shoot. I have it in a pot till i was going to transplant when i move back home for the summer. It is still pretty short - about 2 feet tall. Any chance it will continue to grow? If it doesnt will it just develop roots and rhizomes and come back stronger next year?

My thoughts exactly.

Yeah. It should still be fine. It might resend a new tip from below.

Only one way to find out, just keep doing what you're doing.

You have two feet of bine photosynthesizing? It will likely send shoots from the top nodes. I have broken some of mine when training them onto the lines. As long as they are not broken off very close to the crown, they'll branch off on that bine. It's hard to tell now which ones I broke without poking around on the lines.

It will put out a lateral from the leaf node below the broken tip in 7 to 10 days train it Cheers Glen

Should i cut of the dying tip?

 

[jeepinjeepin]

I would, with a razor or sharp knife. Any type of pruning turns out better when you don't just smash the end off.

Shouldn't this thread title be:

LOL

Keep the girlfriend, you can milk this...

I of course read WAY too much into the title. All I could think of is what kind of doctor do you go to for a damaged tip? And shriveling?

Anyway, I'm a newb hop grower but a semi-seasoned gardner and what I can say is that all plants want to live. As long as you only damaged the above ground part there's an excellent chance that they'll survive it. Bugs and disease are much worse on my veggies than my ham handed efforts at tending them.

In response to the title: Just the tip?


And yeah, it'll be fine. Life almost always finds a way... unless you try really hard to interrupt it... kinda like with fermentation/infection/etc.

Your tip is shriveling, yet it is already 2 feet long and you're complaining? :cross:

Sorry I can't actually be helpful. I'm sure this thread will get 20x the views per response.

Good luck tho.

Beat that tip until she* cant take it anymore.

EDIT: *it

I also may have failed to mention that i accidentally dropped the grow light on the sterling when it was about a foot tall and cleaved off half the leaves. And whats funny is now there is a new shoot that has sprouted out of one of the bottom leaves. I hope new ones sprout from every node where leaves were damaged. It wouldnt help much for cone production but it would probably be good for laying down roots - seeing as to how there has been only 1 bine come up off that little rhizome.
