I don't think health has anything to do with breaking branches....but I'll admit your's is a better pic...but is it...I mean you got a bunch of greens...I got a bunch of tops!

Health has everything to do with supercropping. Supercrop an unhealthy plant and it won't recover as well as a healthy plant.

It was a photo for demonstration.

I've got a couple tops on that one.

Bro I'm just trolling you...your shit is beautiful and it's where I'm trying to get too...I'm on my first grow...my plant is petty healthy...now anyways...I just thinned it out and got aggressive with th bending and cropping because my plant is about a month in front of my other plants long story...so I'm pretty aggressive and merciless with her...at least until the others get close

The SF2000 is in my smaller 2.6'x2.6' tent.
There is a Timber Fatty VS 3000k spectrum in the 5x5.

Good luck with your grow.

I'm using it in my 2x4 with 2 100w LED no-name ones so for a total of 400w...currently I only have 300w turned on. I'm just curious as about the amount of growth during flower...because mine started from clone....when they double during flower do they double in main branch or total? And Thank you...I'm hoping I can wait two weeks without this sour D going crazy and taking over my tent

Honestly I used gorilla glue last night on my sour-d and I was able to break a stem bend it 90 degrees..glue it..hold it..walk away...and in the morning it looks like this...View attachment 4854635
might do this from now on!
it works. but your stem will grow around and swallow the glue eventually.
i like the grafting tape because it stretches and its literally designed for it

Soooo what's the concensus on using superglue because I just accidentally snapped a few branches on one of my plants when it fell out of the grow tent

I used brush on super glue to repair them as I didn't have any grafting tape on hand. This is also my first experience trying to repair a damaged plant

The leaves from the broken stem are looking wilty. How long until I know if the branch will survive or not? Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Painters tape, electrical tape, scotch tape, etc. would have been a better choice.
Applying cyanocrylate, or any glue for that matter, is not likely to work.
How will water/nutrients pass that barrier?

most of the accounts from this 13 year old thread are inactive lol, i have used superglue (specifically loctite brand) many times when accidents happened in the garden, mostly splits in the stem from stretching too much, not entire branches actually being removed though. and it usually only works with thicker woody branches not viney thinner ones.

the hardcore wilting is an unfortunate sign that your branch is dead or dying.
