Ok, so yesterday i picked up an outlet timer for my plants so that i could start 18/6 andi was setting it up, so i plugged the light plugs into the outlet timer and sat it down on this piece of pvc pipe(i am growing in a little closet thing that is supposed to have washer n dryer in it so it had exaust to outside and water pipes and pvc and all that shty) so this piece of pvc pip is comming from the grow and just stands up and i placed it outlet timer on that and as i go to grab a hanger right above it to hang it instead of letting it sit i hit it off the pvc tubeing and it swings down on the lighting wires and smacks my biggest plant in half =[. Its no like severed in half but it now has like a kink in the plants main stem and just falls over so i put in a pencil next to it so keep it stilted up. DO you think that that was too much stress for the plant and it will die? it has been almost a full 24 hours now and it hasent shown any signs of it dying yet. Will it? or will it just live, idk i just wanna know so i can stop and throw it out if it is bad. Does anyone know? oh and i forgot to tell you that the plant isnt full grown it is only about 5 inches tall and has about 3-4 sets of leaves. Anyoneknow if it can survive?:-|

Cover the wound in cloning gel and splint the plant and hope for the best.
Coning gel helps the plant to heal and contains a fungicide that combats rot while the stem repairs itself.
Some people even bend their plants on purpose in this manner to encourage different kinds of growth.
If the stem is not completely snapped then you have a good chance that it will pull through:blsmoke:
