Hey all, so one of my babies is almost to the point of starting to flowering period, but one of the stems is bent. It's a stem that's towards the top so I don't know how to prop it up or what I should do about it. Can anyone please help?:( I'm worries it's going to snap and I'll loose buds

Thanks in advance

Thanks! was thinking tape but didn't want to hurt it. I'll pick some up today
If it's just a small branch where it broke/bent you could just use a popsicle stick and tape, just don't do it up too tight and remove it in a week or so when it's healed. I buy bags of 100 popsicle sticks at the dollar store, they come in handy for a lot of things around the garden like tagging plant names or this situation. Like Sunni mentioned the bamboo stakes are great for support, I use them too but your description sounds like a broken branch.

When I'm deep in the bush,I've used twist ties,plastic bag bottom strip of my T-shirt and a stick.stick about size if branch diameter and any where's from several inches longer from brake from top to bottom to a foot on each side of break.tie on each side of brake.usually a week and it'll be a big not healed fine.don't hurt to wet the area also.
