HELP! Broken stalk in flowering

[JerryMawuana]

My plants are 2 weeks into budding today and I accidentally broke the tip off of 2 of the 4 main stems on one of them. I read that stress can cause them to go hermie (which I don't want), so I'm a worried about her now. Will she be ok?

 

[Mr.furley]

You can't change what happened, so to worry will only cause more stress to the plant and yourself.
did it snap off completely or just break?

 

[JerryMawuana]

The one is just broken, the other snapped right off.

As long as you aren't heavily defoliating and pruning you should be fine. Accidents happen and you can tape up broken stems and they'll bounce back. I just dropped a clip fan on one of my autos and had to tape her up. She and the branch are fine, they're resilient plants.

 

[Mr.furley]

Sorry to hear, I think all the seasoned growers have had the happen from time to time and you just roll with it the best you can.
Cloning gel can act like glue/Neosporin for your plant, but you want to use it a.s.a.p. leave the taped up one for now it should recover. The broken one has been off the plant for to long to repair, so cut you loss on that one.

The broken stem looks like it's going to be fine :laugh: It's only been 1 day but it looks like it will heal just fine.

Glad to hear it!
I have done so many things to my poor plants before, It's a wonder they still like me at all, Lol! I put pine sap on my last broken branch, and it seems to be working. It broke real late in flower cause of weight, and I supported it, and then sapped it, more yellow leaves, and pistols turning sooner, but even that one I think might pull though. Resiliant plants for sure!

Glad to hear
