Stem snapped, leaves wilting...help

Lord King Kassanova VII · May 26, 2018

My plant is about a month into vegging. I was at the second stage of main lining, when I tried to tie down one of the branches as broke it. It’s now hanging on by a thread, so I have it propped up and it’s connected, but not enough to stand without the prop. It’s now a day and a half later and it’s wilting. Will it survive? Tips??? Pics provided, thx.

Will the branch survive, all wilted? NO, must have been a bad break.
What's with all the extra vegetation, camouflage?

So you’re saying There’s no chance in it surviving??

I’m growing in live soil and the extra stuff growing is part of the soil feeding regimen

Just be a little wary too, if it snapped really easily.

It can happen sometimes, if plants are low on calcium and PK.

What do you think about the chance of the plant bouncing back. The pics are after roughly 18 hours

If you tape the break right after it happens mostly they come back

But if it wilts longer then 3 days its gone

Ok I’ll give it another day or two. Do you think this will affect yield at all??

Your still in veg right? If in veg no

If in flower yes that top will never catch up best to nip it off in a few days if it doesnt bounce back

Next time tape it up

Ok thx. One more question. What will happen to the stem under the break, will it just stay there?

Dont you think all those plants on top are depriving your plant of nutrition and pot space?
Just like weeds.

Those little plant have to die. Before they supply anything of substance to the soil.
Until then they're just zapping nutrients from the soil

I thought so in theory, but here is “ dude what is that” by Cannarado at 5 weeks into flowering ( I cut the cover crop once a month)

Thats really cool!
I really like permaculture principles. Have always done the same outdoors for my garden beds. I never realized you could with indoor containers. You just proved it to me.
Thank-you
