WIND DESTROYED MY PLANT!!!

[YungDumbBroke]

Ok so the plant is holy grail kush from DNA. About 2 or 3 weeks from harvest..big storm came in last night and i underestimated the wind. Came out this morning to 4 main branches broken at the main stalk and laying on the ground. Not broken off complately but pretty damn close. I grabbed whatever i could find fastest to tie her back up and get her back standing. The question is, do you guys think she will make it to harvest?

 

[Herb & Suds]

It should be fine as long as the outside skin of the stalks is attached...I usually use electrical tape

 

[YungDumbBroke]

I really hope so this was the one i was really counting on

 

[Herb & Suds]

I'm speaking from many experiences LOL

 

[YungDumbBroke]

U from michigan too? I hope ur right cuz this whole thing was toppled over. Should of taken one before but i was panicking too much to let it stay on the ground any longer lol

Next time you top the plant leave a little nub above the "Y", at allows the plant to knuckle and becomes much stronger at that intersection

I have deliberately broken hundreds to keep low enough to avoid detection

I’m going to say yes.. as long as you’ve got her injuries strapped up good she’ll be fine. Speaking from personal experience too. “Emergency Surgery” I call it.. No time for pics just get her off the ground! Lol

Good job on plant.

Yea as u can see it split there once before back in june. Dog ran into it and split down the middle like that.
I just really hope she can limp across the finish line!

 

[YungDumbBroke]

I will keep updated on her progress...its real bad so if she pulls thru this im making it a permanent strain lol cuz im telling you guys the pics make it look way better than it is

All the goodies in cannabis flow through the outer layer. I forget the scientific name right now. Lets call it bark or skin. As long as you have some of that left it should be fine. The stems are basically hollow. I've had worse happen during flower and the plant didn't even blink.

 

[adower]

It will be fine.

Good job on the "emergency surgery" as someone else called it. I don;t know if silica would have helped in this case, but I do know it toughens up stems, quite a bit. I personally use DynaGro Protekt but there are other brands. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Also good for drought conditions. It works. In my indoor grow, the stems are super tough. And they're covered in a sort of wax, almost. Hard to explain. Silica works, though. beautiful plant, by the way.

i also put honey on the splits & zip tie them to main stem

I've only had issues with minor branch damage, but I think you did a great job bandaging her up. I feel like I was to fall in your presence and get a compound fracture in my leg, you'd be the guy to be around if that were to happen! Edit: Noticed you aren't the OP, but that's OK.

Hard as nails....
She took a right battering a couple of weeks ago .
I just straightened her up and tied her up.
No harm done.

 

[YungDumbBroke]

I think shes gonna be just fine guys..fed her a little potassium silicate and shes looking ok a few days later here. A couple colas that were laying in puddles when it broke ended up getting some rot so i clipped them and tossed it before it spread. Will post pictures of the breaks when i harvest to show just how bad it was. Thanks everyone !

Also found this guy today. Saw 3 last week. Not sure if this is one of them as they all had really fat bellies like they were preggo. Along with a lot of ladybug action. Released a bunch of each early in the summer but havent seen them much until the last couple weeks
