WTF?!

Hey family... This is my first posting on growery. I started this plant from seed first week of April. It was doin great, then I topped it after about 12 days of growth. I effed up, and not only pinched off the apical meristem, but the the two shoots on either side of it. DOH!! Well the two fan leaves got huge, but there was no new growth. I thought it was done for, but I left it alone while I went on my honeymoon for two weeks. when I returned,it had exploded out of one side, down by the second node. It was also infested with aphids, and they had done some damage. Fixed that problem with a tobacco solution, and it's doing wonderfully. I pruned her, aerated the soil a bit, adding some high N fert, and she has grown 18" in height , and 16" in diameter. She's in preflower now, and I'm 90% sure she's a she. I took off the two fan leaves , cuz they were blocking light, and now the main stem above the new mutant growth is shrinking.

I'm pretty sure that's insect damage, but could it be a fungus,too? Check out my gallery and tell me what you think...

Well here are your pic's:

It's difficult to tell whether your bug problem has been alleviated, due to the resolution and lack of clarity in your pictures. However I think that on the whole, your plant is looking OK and should pull through if you continue to provide it some TLC. Keep it well watered, well fed, trim off dead or drying (as well as heavily bug infested) growth but don't bother trimming off fan leaves if your only reason is that they're "blocking light". If the fan leaves are healthy, they aren't blocking nothin', they're actually sucking up that light and making good use of it!
There does appear to be some callousing or hardening of the main stem where it branches, but nothing to worry about - just keep the part of the plant that's above the ground clean and relatively dry in order to avoid potential fungal problems. And if you're really worried about this plant but think the genetics are all good, take some clones so you can grow it out again under better circumstances.

Yeah like Geo said, on the whole your plant looks fairly healthy and full.

Nice plant and nice first grow. You seem to have learned from your mistakes fast, and I bet you will harvest some good smoke off of that. Stick around and we can answer all questions that you cannot google.

Thanks guys.. I'm not worried about her; she seems to be thriving in spite of everything. There are no more pests on her, just damage from the aphids before treatment. The stem all the damage is on is obsolete- in fact, it seems to have grown a whole new plant out of it's side. She's growing 1-2" per day- height AND width. Should start flowering in the next week, can't wait.. how far into the flowering cycle should i give her fert?

those two big fan leaves you snipped were probably converting more energy then the whole rest of the plant. it went to shock from not converting as much light to food as it had planned. a healthy lighting regimine and some blatant ignorance may stimulate her new growth!

I've done a good job leaving her alone since the initial pruning.. the leaves I snipped were diseased, holey, and probably using more energy than producing. If you look at the pics of the stem, the center one is barren all way up- about 8". ALL the growth on her is from the mutant appendages lol. when should I use the bloom fert? At first flower? Or now, during preflower?

Update on my mutant plant.. She's definately all woman. I tried so hard to kill this poor plant, and she's thriving in spite of me. She's doubled in size since tirmming the top two fan leaves off of the old main stem; 36"hx 28"dia. Talk about dumb luck.. 1st controlled grow, 1 seed, 1 healthy female. Got better pics- here's the obsolete stem with the new plant growing out of the side.
Is she still in preflower?

I was being facetious, Weezy. I meant I was killing her with my clumsiness and ignorance. She's all good now though..
