    HELP! Snapped stem on autoflower (accidental topping)

    I woke up and wanted to do some LST to my northern lights auto flower, and have been pretty used to the feel and how much they can take, but today I underestimated my NL and she snapped at the bend, clean in half. (Pictures below)

    I wrapped some plastic wrap around the break and tide it off, but I’m not hopeful atm for salvaging the top cola. Gave her some water to help with the healing process..
    Is there anything recommended that would help the success rate of healing? Or am I up schitts creek with this one?

    super upset as it’s my best auto in the tent currently, and just starting to show pistols and going into flower. What a start to the day..

    It looks like it'll be fine.
    You'll find that after a few weeks, it'll scab over and you can remove your 'bandage'.
    As long as the limb hasn't been completely severed, it can be saved.

      Wrap some tape around it to hold it together. Give it a couple weeks and it will just fine. Ive broke so many branches. Some have been full of frosty buds and never lost any of my crop yields.
      Some may even go as far and say"they grow like weeds!"

        Some of the supercrop 'knuckles' I've made completely amazed me at how well the limb recovered.

      Thanks for the info, it’s a big relief to know it’s not as severe a situation as I initially thought! Definitely learned what I can do with LST and what’s pushing them too much.
      I’ll be leaving this one to heal without anymore LST and let her grow as she likes, and focus on training the others

        A better bandage if possible, it'll be healed in seven days and trainable two inches above wound after two weeks. Gently.

          Thanks everyone for the advice, took the bandage off today and it looks like we’re back on track and starting early flower

            Looks good-these girls will take quite a bit of abuse and shrug it off.
