2nd grow, 1st time LST. Got too aggressive and broke a small branch. Not completely severed but close.
Anything I can do? Or should I just cut it out?

I’m new but from what I have read is Honey and tape it up. And it should be okay. Like i said I’m new maybe someone with more experience can weigh in.

Just use some electrical tape and she will be fine. Even if you snap it all the way off and tape it back properly it should be fine. Not suggesting that you snap it all the way off, just saying it can be done

If you enlarge the picture I was bending and things came back in the morning she snapped scotch tape is all yould wouldnt have guessed that was in the end of January. They are a pretty hardy plant

@HotAndHumid like others stated I would suggest you find some way to bind the split branch back up. I also suggest that you start using silica in your grows to strengthen your branches. I will not admit to how many branches I have snapped but I will say even branches that snapped and remained only 20% connected continue to grow since I started using silica.

Got the honey and electrical tape on. It’s so small and tucked in, it was a challenge. Hoping it will recover.

Honey and tape. Honey and sticks for splinting. Whatever you can get one there. She’ll heal herself and keep moving. If not I broke my main cola off completely during training. I was stressed as hell but all she did was push her energy towards the other sites and no harm no foul. She’s doing great! Don’t fret my friend!!! She’ll bounce back and blow your mind. They’re pretty resilient!!!

Yeah that is the ticket. Honey or aloe, I am notorius for snapping/splitting.
She will bounce back and will actually be stronger at the split. She will knuckle up right there. Here is a pic of my bad.
Didn’t do anything to her as far as growth in any negative way.

I use surgical tape because it’s easy to remove later. She’ll be fine. I split one of my plants right down the middle once and she fixed herself.
