well heres the deal i had a fan fall on my plants and one of the plants has had its stems break the two main shoots wish i had pics i have topped so its the main colas they almost look like i bent them but they have split the sides and i can see all the way threw to the other side woundering if it will kill the stalk or just heal like an lst its my biggest one should i try and fix it and with what. i have grown out side a bunch and just taped it up and let it heal but not sure if this is the right thing also never had one break open like this srry no camera lol :wall:

it should heal normally like lst. try to straighten it back out and pench it together as good as possible and tape it together with microspore tape(walmart), the tape is breathable and forms well around stuff. Prop it up if you have to.

you should be fine bro.if you have some Clonex gel I always rub some of it on my injured or cut plants it will help seal it up from pests and help it recover just once though and then I would tape a wooden splint to help it stay steady. I've seen people do some pretty good damage to there plants trying to super crop them and they all healed up just fine

it sounds like you kinda did an accidental supercropoping.. i would say she will be perfectly fine in a week or so... it is amazing some of the sh*t that a mj plant can take an keep on ticking... i had to supercrop one of my plants this time around and she took to it great although i didn't split the stem like you did, but i have read that even witht the split stem she should still be good to go.
best of luck with the rest of your grow.

yeah, its cool to leave her on the side like that, thats what you do with supercropping.... i have to admit that i was way scared when i did it to my sour cream plant, but i did it like two weeks into flower, and i performed it right when the lights came on.. when i got up in the morning and checked on her, i was amazed to see that the bud that had been laying at a 90 degree angle 12 hours earlier was now standing upright pointing straight at the light.. too cool.. phototropism in effect.. i love nature...
