Stalk split during bad storm...

[cornnugget]

We were hit by a bad storm last week while I was at work. I came home to see my banana kush split in half. I taped up the stem with duct tape, but now that some leaves are starting to turn light green, I'm guessing the split was fatal.

She's nowhere near harvest ready. Do I cut now and make butter, scrap the plant entirely, or let her continue to stand, and hope for the best?

Nope fatal would be evident
It will be fine it needs a week or so to get over the weather incident
Duct tape till I die
Edit : BTW your leaves will go yellow as it dies
All our plants are dying in the end

Well, these leaves look like they're going to be turning yellow next. Ill just leave her be and see how it goes.

Fatal would look like this

All hope is not lost! I've split many stems, and my favorite method now is soft ties. Even bad splits can be healed. Duct tape will work the same, but I just prefer soft ties. I have one branch wrapped up in my flower closet now.




Here's one that split worse, but it didn't seem to affect the harvest.

As long as the leaves don't droop like the pic like CanadianJim posted, you're good.

Thank you so much, guys. I am feeling huge amounts of relief now!!

I've had splits heal in a week. Cannabis can take some serious abuse.

The only thing you may see right now is an early ripening. IT used to be an old hippy way of doing things around here , people used to damage stocks to and im saying this loosley "push them into resin production" " Ive seen people drill holes in plants split them with knives (Bud Back building) I dont think it works but ALOT of people say it does.

Funny you say that. Today she's suddenly sparking with trichomes. She had zero visible yesterday.

No worries, I had a plant split yesterday. Just tied it back together, seems none the worse for wear. Pretty resilient plants

That's what I think is happening tbh i mean it makes sense, cutting off nutes, the plant thinks its dying or needing to go into an aggressive rejuvenating stage and plumps up. the hairs will turn orange faster in the damaged areas also
