Hello all fellow members.
So today the most idiotic thing happend-one of my main stems has broken.so my outdoor white widow is topped and under LST 4 some time now.i was checking bugs and when i walked around the plant one of my legs was stuck in the String, used 4 lst, and then BAM,CRACK,FTJUH-the stem was almost completly torn apart!!!

It is little bit still on to the other main stem.so i used duck-tape and i hope it will work-WILL IT WORK FELLAS?????pls give advice and can it heal itself and if it can how much time does it take????
also, my plant got so much stress, that i decided i took some clone as well 4 the broken stem and 4 couple of other places.i mean like fuckk dudes-why i am so stupid taht it happened?I feel so bad right now that......oh fuckk!!!!

hey gs, that's a nasty one man, sorry to hear. Good thing you took clones in case it doesn't pull through. I wouldn't of recommended duck-tape but im sure that was desperation kicking in. If she was REALLY healthy before she could be fine, but what a bummer!! I have snapped one of my big branches on my previous grow and used a rather large toothpick as a splint with some string, reason is she could still grow with it. She was 2 weeks into flower and pulled through well. Main stem break could post a bigger problem. The duck tape could post a problem if she wants to carry on growing and the tape is holding tight..

Good luck and let us know how she progresses.

use wet tissue paper and duct tape around it! the duct tape is not good!!! also too strong!!! use wet tissue paper like a cast.

i dunno guys-it already wrapped in duck tape tight-but some air can get in.

Have had similar split and used duct tape alone to fix it. No problem. If possible, tie splinted break to surrounding healthy branch(es) for added support as the break heals.

settle down GS, i am the biggest jack ass here and have stupidly done that 4 or 5 times and everytime i used whatever was closest to me to "fix it" ..... most of the time i used just a string and they always pull out of it! The worst thing is if you are by yourself and it breaks and you had to walk away to go get your duct tape, then its broke worse when you get back with tape (cockfuckinsucker!) but as long as you "tied " it up with that tape Right Away , it will be fine, make sure its put back together the same way it split. (well as close as you can)
It appears to be outside, thats why i say it will be fine, it also looked plenty healthy to survive that one. I believe if you got it tied up tight enough then it will start mending itself within a few days and will be good as new in a week or so, and i dont even think you will lose that top part..... it might sag for a couple days but then them leaves will start perkin up again and you will be happy as fuck!
keep it watered and dont let the wind mess up your lil "tie" (duct tape)
(if its outside and the whether is decent i would say 85% on the shit i just said)......GOOD LUCK!

no big deal......happens lotsa ways, some people do it on purpose pretty much(supercropping. push it back together and get something that creates a barrier)(ie:superglue, wet stitches. etc) tie her back up, close off the wound, and wait....all u can do really.....
