Stem Snap

okay, these are dark times for me... ive been lsting my tallest, slightly stretched vegger for a couple of days to instigate more branch and general lower growth. being looking real good for it, lots of new leaves appearing clustered to the stem. however, after repositioning it this morning i, being a fackin retard, pulled on the string by accident connected to the top of the plant, snapping the main stem about 2 nodes up, and severing the 3/4 new growth nodes at the top.

okay, so the main stem is not completely severed 2 nodes up, it stil has 'ligaments' attatched. i have propped it up with a cane to get it as close to how it was as possible, thinking maybe it will fix itself?? any feedback?

also, i dipped the stem of the top few nodes into rooting powder but didnt have any rockwools to hand, so i just dumped it into a soil mixture containing a little sprouting for now. ill check to see how he's doing regularly.. any suggestions or nuggets of knowledge??

any comments or feedback would be much appreciated to let me know the depths of the shit storm to which ive ventured. im feeling pretty low right now. take it easy buds

PS. ill add pictures later this avo after giving it a bit of time to rest, i cant bring myself to go in there right now

would like to see a few pics. but you should be ok. it should heal it's self. if you've tried to bandaid her be sure that's it secure but not to tight. in a few days the plant should be able to heal.

Just get some TAPE that is made from plant CELLULOSE (plant cells) and wrap that bitch up... easy right?

okay, well initially i just propped it up with a cane. i only found some tape about an hour later, at which point i taped it up... by the time that happened, everythings awfully droopy. the thing is, the break is right underneath a fan leaf, so i had to clip off all growth around the node to get the tape over. ar!!






cheers for the comments and faith you people have instilled in me, +rep all round!

they are pretty tough. i think it will make it.

Sorry to hear the bad news. Good thing the kind herb is a forgiving plant though, it should pull through. Good luck!

hey morp, you patched it up well and is still looking green, it will recover

cheers guys. what a fool i have been. the top i tried to save as a clone has drooped and flopped, not looking too promising. nevermind. ill let you guys know if the big girl makes it. take it easy!

there water supply routes are damaged. maybe just a little misting will help.
