Honestly it takes a little while but just remember after the fan fell on my baby I was gunna scrap her and start over cause I still had the other one going but that was a male. And if I would have scrapped her I would have nothing right now. If it withers it withers let it go till you can easily pull it with your hand and it will come off no problem but I'd leave it for a week minimum what's the worst that could happen if anything she might just drink more aqua =p

If my whole plant survived such trauma and than some from the immense LST I put it through to shape and level out the chutes. I think your branch will do just fine providing you leave it taped and don't disturb or peel off the tape till you see enough new growth in the top that it's connected to, thus ensuring its healed.

Cloning would be a gamble. As there's already been a break for 24h as you said which is really bad if it aerates too much near the wound. The break will harden making the strike rate lower. This is why alot of people "double dip" with cloning gel first than powder the gel stops air from getting into the stem

Plant will be just fine. When tucking branches I found it's better to either reach from underneath the screen and pull down instead of pushing and tucking from the top. If a branch is too stiff to tuck wait until you need to water and the branches will be a little more pliable. If all else fails just use loose fitting zip tie to pull branch down on top of the screen

I grabbed 2 day old cuttings one time, that we're heading for the trash, and had 100% success rate with a homemade DIY EZ Cloner. :bigjoint:

Honestly I love Willow water. You can clone with it. Foliar feed and straight up drench your soil with it. Willow trees are from. The syphix(I think that's how it's spelled) family and have a natural rooting hormone. No chem no gel no nothing just soak your cube in the Willow water and watch the roots explode. Never used gel or anything. Up untill this grow everything has been 100% organic.

Can I fill up my cloning machine with that stuff?

Not 100% sure but I don't see why not. It's just steeped Willow branches strain and BAM you got Willow water. It's all natural

image.jpg My other plant is doing just absolutely fine. I got this one to do a perfect split without any issues, she must've been a cheerleader in a past life or something lol... The weirdest thing happened though, if you look closely to the spot where I topped her at, you'll see that a new shoot has recently sprouted there from the same little scar where she was decapitated at. Wierd huh? o_O

Not only is it fixable, it will grow into a big knot and that branch will be all the better for it. I've had this happen before to a couple of plants when doing some hardcore tying and training in a small vertical grow. let me see if I can find some pics...

That's one very nice looking plant! How much did she yield?
I honestly can't recall. I think my goal for that run was 450g out of 400 plants with a 400w in a 3x3 (they were grown vertically) but I had a security scare and had to cut early, so I didn't hit my goals. Maybe ~100g dry per plant of the 3 that I ended up finishing.

I usually cover the break in honey and then tape it... Tie it off if it's too heavy to hold itself.

You're bound to break a few branches from training and sometimes just on accident. No big deal.
