I have a 3 x 3 x6 tent with a 1 5 gal bucket DWC, Using GH nutes. Plant is around 3 feet tall.

I used LST and the Nirvana Feminized master Kush is full and bushy. This one plant will take up my whole tent.

I have a 40 w HPS. today is my transition week. 6 weeks of veg.

While I was changing my water I broke my main stem! OUCH! Altohugh it look like I have about 4 other "main" stems do to my LST. I have some thich branches.

I cant get any good pics. The stem broke around 80% through. I was able to reattach it with wooden splints and white cloth medical tape. I also used a twisty tie.

Is their anything else I should do to it?

no just wait and it will be ok in a week or so. This is a strong plant!

Thats what I needed to hear! +rep

It was still attached by the exterior of the plants stem on the lower side. I just fused it togetehr.

Will the plant "outgrow" the tape and split? Should I take the tape off and look at it in a week?

I noticed two of the fan leaves seemed to be droopy. I dont know if this is from the stress or from me having them tucked and moved after the accident.

It will be strong in that place so the tape will pull off by its own so let it in the place. and dont worry about anything else she will be strong and healthy pretty soon
