I was trying to do a light bend on one of my plants and the branch snapped. It was about 75% off. I propped it up in hopes itll heal. Unfortunately, I don’t have pictures at the moment but i’m sure someone has dealt with this. What should I do?
Put honey and a bandaid of some sort she will heal herself!
Yep, honey on it, a couple of sticks on ea h side for support, and some gentle taping she’ll hold together.
Your not a true cannabis grower till you have to set a few broken arms.
Earned your first chevron. !!!
Tape it up good and you’ll never know it happened in 10 days.
Aloe works great too.
So, just use a little honey and some scotch tape? Lol.
Electrical tape if you have some. The stretchyness helps.
Much appreciated fellow growmies
Your plant will outgrow the tape wrap after a week or 10 days. Put it on as loosely as you can while still supporting the wound then remove the tape after a week or so. It will only take a couple of days before it starts making good progress.
We’ve all broken branches, split nodes, and so on… You’ll be surprised how resilient the plant is.
I use plumbers tape whenever I break a branch.
I broke one this year and taped it with scotch tape and when it healed it had a knuckle where the break was and was solid
Ah your first High Stress Training experience… i break branches all time… on purpose…
I don’t even use the honey, a wrap of scotch tape in a pinch , never had a branch repair not take.
Cut a straw in a long as possible cut, then cut vertically. Slide it around the stem to support. Then your not struggling to remove a splint.
Hey guys … heres a pic. You think she’ll fix herself? Leaves are withered bad.
When I move the sticks the branch is already holding on her own but the leaves look dead.
On purpose?
I do alot of experimenting and toying around when i train. I purposely stress my plants to harden them up. It takes alot longer veg time, my girls have been at it for 9 weeks now i believe in veg… here are some examples…
Damn those look great… do you think my branch will survive? Posted pics above
Tape it back together it will be fine
It was the first branch to ever grow… I feel like I should just get rid of the branch and open the canaopy up idk
