Had a wind related incident

Hello fellow growers, this girl had to endure 20+ mph sustained winds with higher gusts yesterday, i was stuck at work just thinking about it. Came home to her leaning real bad and had to correct and re-pack some soil. There were no exposed roots so thats good.

I stabilized the base and watered really well. How long should i keep her in the infirmary(my garage) for the roots to recover? I have some cheap Amazon lights im using to keep her in veg. Im not concerned at all about slowing growth down since she’ll still have 6-8 weeks before the day shortens enough for her to start flower.

On a side note we have thunderstorms forecasted for the next 4 days here.

Nice looking plant @Solidgold91 Mj is super resilient. Id put her back out right away. Id probably put a stake in the pot to tie the plant to to give it some support. Id also add some soil up to those bottom branches. I had a plant last year that was flattened by my dog. Most of the main root ball was pulled up. I stood it back up put a bunch of soil over the roots and staked it in place. I won Bud of the month with a bud from that plant. My plants are outside in the ground. We have monsoons this time of year. Winds can get 40+mph and it can drop 3 inches of rain in 45 minutes. Main thing is supporting them so they cant be uprooted.

Yep without the signs of flow-stoppage its good. Like the severe droop when breaking a limb isnt there. Let er rock

I may have gone overboard with the stability but i cant have this happen again. Its getting too late to start another outdoor here in northern MN.
Thank you @plumbdand and @Jaysittinback for the encouragement to get her back out right away. Still pretty windy here today :crossed_fingers:

Right on :+1: . Outdoor green is such a nice green. And she catches a lot of wind.
