Wind damage

[grasscropper]

Hey growers. I have a Romulan. Two actually that took a beating in Rain and wind last night. Haven’t touched it yet. Please made suggestions on how to deal with the aftermath of bullshit Ontario weather.

Yikes. Sadly..I've never had much luck rectifying broken branches. Those are probably history.

I'd find/make the tallest stakes I could and I'd tie em up/spread 'em out.

Best of luck

You can try taping them up with duct tape and support them with some bamboo or tall stakes. I have taped up plants that have split their trunks down to the ground before.
When plants get into later stages it is imperative that you support them..

Athletic tape or electrical tape plus a splint if you can. Worth a shot to try bringing them back. Im not sure and havent done it, but ive heard of people using clonex or similar products where the break is. Gnarly wind, what a bum deal..

These were stunning plants.

Terrible. Broken hearts this morning. Bloom or flowering started early this year which is good as we can crop out earlier as well.

Yeah, as long as the branch is still attached, it'll keep growing. I would try to support the damaged ones, keep them off the ground. When an outdoor plant(s) get that large, you really need to consider using a cage to give it some support. Best of luck.

Duct tape and the addition of a cage...you'll be fine. That giant thing outside with a little damage is not a bad problem to have...she's a beauty!

The reallllky annoying part is I gave 2 of my crappiest babies to my bro. For a trial run. And bam. We have these monsters. Haven’t seen bigger in my life. Trimmed branches beyond repair. And hey it exposed some of the inner area. And we have trimmed back fan leaves all summer!

You gotta support those branches man!

We are working on it. Have learned from this one. She’s so big now that finding stakes this long and strong has been difficult. These were homely ladies at the start. Hahaha. Now does one start staking when small and keep going along the growing

You just need to adjust or replace splint occasionally.

And while you're doing all that trimming and splinting...keep your eyes pealed for some good clone cuttings. Root/reveg/clone momma...
