I’ve Broke one of my tops

Hello guys, first time grower here, hope someone can help me on this.

I’ve topped one of my plant at the 3rd node, and she was growing great!

3 days ago i was LSTing it,and I’ve almost broke one of the 2 new tops,

The top is still attached like by an half, but within a couple of hours the leaves started to get droopy,

So I’ve used some electrical tape to stay firm in his place.

After 3 days it seems like it has stopped to grow, while the other is getting huge.

Should i cut it off and leave just the other top (so is like I haven’t topped it and can focus just for one top)?

I’d like to switch to flowering next week, should i just leave it and see if it will start to grow again?
Is it normally that in 3 days has not grown?
Thanks in advance!

got 2 popcicle sticks?? this way you can make a splint for the branch
This is a good way here to create your very own splint for the plant. In any event, you made a good call by using the electrical tape. I do the exact same thing when I break a limb/stem, just electrical tape it back straight. If it happens during flower and the limb can't stay straight due to it's own weight, I use these support yo-yos that hang from the top of your grow space and have a hook that stretches down and holds the plant's limb up, so that the limb pretty much doesn't have to support it's own weight. Good luck and happy growing. :)

Some pics of my ikea closet grow! :) they look really good, but just one plant, has some little yellow/rusty tips in some leaves. It’s slightly taller than the others,so i maybe is light burn? I’m using quantum board 260 v2 at 16inch from the top.
I’ve done, lst,topping, and one week before switching I’ve lollipopped because they were soooo bushy! They are 4 amnesia haze from rqs.
How does they look?!
It’s my first time, and I’m actually in love. It’s the best thing I’ve done in my life! :)

I like your Simpson's character hanging onto your light hahaha...anyhow, congratulations on putting together such a good grow, things look well! I do see the yellowness/rusty tips you've mentioned. I doubt that the cause is heat stress as that almost always results in either severe cupping/tacoeing, or at the least raised leaf edges, and I'm just not seeing either or. Have you applied the exact same nutrients to that plant as the others? Anything that you can think of that you've done differently with her? I've had different plants of the same strain prefer slightly more/less nutes before...if I had to guess, I'd say that is a nute issue. Luckily, it's still pretty early on so I'm sure we can figure it out if it continues progressing.

Thanks guys! I really hope I’ll get a good yield! :)
So yeah, it can be a little nute burn,because I’ve watered once with a water can and i must have gave her more nutes than the others.:wall:
Now i just have 4 bottles 1,5l so I’m sure they all get the same.
On the space underneath in 5 weeks I’m gonna add 5 more plants for a perpetual grow.. :bigjoint:
I love amnesia haze, and some people recommended me to try RIPPER HAZE from ripper seeds.
Do you guys know it? :peace::weed:

What can be in your opinions? This is just on one plant. The other 3 are fine, so I don’t think is cal mag deficiency as I thought.
These are like mid age leaves (middle of plant)
I’m in the 2nd week of flowering
Using canna nutes
Any recommendations how to fix it, and should i remove all the leaves like these?
Thanks guys
