    HELP! Broken stem


    good morning guys. I'll go straight to the point: I'm applying the mainlining technique to all my indoor plants. unfortunately 2 days ago I almost broke one of the 2 main branches after the first topping on my moby dick😔 the good thing is that it hasn't come off completely. it is attached for a small flap but it seems ok to me because in these days the branch has grown. I am undecided because I am afraid that by holding the branch so bent the wound will not heal and I will break it later. on the other hand, if I make the wound adhere well by flexing the branch up (in its natural position) I compromise the shape of the plants. what do you most experts recommend? I leave everything as it is for about a week, do I try to bandage the wound in some way or do I even have to bend the branch towards the other to help the wound? thanks

    I had one on last grow I harvested that I let it ride and forgot about until harvest when I saw it again and it did fine. I would say keep it from being moved for next week or so it should live and it'll get stronger and produce just fine.

      Be gently with it, it should form a knuckle over the break and march on.

        Manipulate back in place then stabilize with a straight pin and or tape. If you use a pin, leave in place for one week then remove.

          Definitely tape it. They are amazing and will repair no problem

            Happened to me. Taped it up. Recovered nicely.
