probably not but you want to make sure you reinforce the break XXXTra well so it doesnt happen again, also make sure there are no cracks that little boring insects and pest could get into and make a home/ meal of your big girl or rot to set in. then just keep an eye on it for a week or so, youll probably lose a big branch or 2 but overall they usually survive.

sweet, had it happen before but never this low on the tree. literally everything but one branch was laying on the ground...its the only one i couldnt roll inside for rain since its in the ground

Should be fine.. same thing happened to me but with all my plants ha. Used 100ft of rope and a pack of zip ties.. good as new!

Did you put anything into the split before you tied it back up? I use organic honey in these situations.. None of that high fructose corn syrup SHIT

nope nada just tied it up

whats the honey for? i have molasses

Duck tape/tie her up and she will be just fine don't worry. Cannabis is a survivor no doubt.

i would avoid putting honey on the internal wound ,, clogging path ways just get it close to way it was tape and support it 50 / 50 chance of recovering or them parts wiltering away n dieing may
As for out side wounds for sure some honey wouldn't hurt protecting internals from possible insect invasion, pathogens or disease

Ok you keep growing how you grow then, out of curiosity do you think parenchyma tissue would clog these pathways as a natural reaction the plant has to trauma? Follow up if you could apply a naturally occurring not only binding agent, but more importantly antibacterial product to this massive wound would you?

Simply put, honey keeps out and fights the nasty while simultaneously being delicious.

50/50 isn't good enough for me when I know honey will up those rates

You do you.

To my understanding Parenchyma cells in stems are storage cells holding starch Parenchyma cells are better suited for photosynthetic activity because their thin primary cell walls allow more efficient passage of light, water, gases, and metabolites. Remember, as walls of cells become thicker, transport processes are affected!

still doing fine, no drooping of leaves, a few are a little sad, but overall still doing good

I second that lol

I taped a few up with electric tape after splitting down the middle. All have survived and done well. One was split for a full work day. Taped it up when I got home and it's now a beauty.

I was doing LST and split the stem right down the middle haha couldnt see it through the bush was shocked she kept on growing like no bodies business . its pretty cool here is the plant after i noticed it while transplanting into ground

I prefer to stay away from Duct tape and plant repair being it has not much stretching capability i found the best way is to get plant back in position, get couple popsicle sticks or long pieces of wood and start off with the non sticky side ,, Once you get some of it covered then turn it to sticky side Use Electrical tape as it has stretching capabilities and lets not forget stalks will keep growing

I've used duct tape & electrical tape in the past. They both worked fine. If possible, give the plant a dose of fox farms boomerang (not a plug for those guys, but it's the only one I can think of off the top of my head) or something similar. If not possible, give it some B-1. This late in the season you may want to build a wooden cage around your plant as well.

Mine split from a windstorm. The branches are laying on the ground, on my tomato plants, on a fence. A few split. I didn't "repair" them; they are easily ten foot tall plants.
Bonus: the branches sent shoots up and made more tops. More tops, more cola bud sites.
