ok, so i was messing in my garden and i wanted to raise 2 of my plants that were lower and on boxes. I wanted to put another box under them. Well i take the 2 out and move them then i moved the box and didnt realize it was a support for one of my girls in 52 day flowering. She sort of folded down, not snapped or broke but folded. I quickly grabbed her and put he striaght up and then i put a bix box next to her for support because string would work. Now it looks like a super crop type deal. Im just wondering, if i keep her supported will she keep growing or should i chop her now even though she isnt ready?

heres some pictures

plants can take a lot of abuse don't worry too much. your plants look really stretched. next time try to train them more during veg.

can i use tape, like electrical tape? the string isnt working cause she just falls a different way. I heard of people using tape.

i would get a piece of bamboo or something and just lean it up against it. i would never put any tape on my plants. and you could still tie them down if they were 12/12 from seed. maybe consider a scrog next time

I guess you could use tape
Why dont you get some chopsticks or something and make a splint to keep her up?
I would try a few more things before going with tape

tom, i ended up doing that, i taped a half pencil to it, it was the best thing i could find. Its not holding it up but i think in a few days the plant will strengthen at that spot and might, as long as she keeps growing im happy.
