Broken stem

[Bigdoobs]

So this must of happened last night and the stem is completely ripped off. Looks like something fell on it. Was only holding on by a shred. Is the rest of the plant going to die. Is there anything I can do

Connect it back together the closest you can to the way it was (before it snapped), and wrap duct tape around the injury site. Allow it to heal for at least 3 weeks. You can also leave the tape on until harvest if you want.

no, your plant is fine, there weeds and can deal with a lot of stress like that

I should add that its completely dry where its snapped. Still worth taping it?

Think of it like surgery. The longer you wait to do it, the worse the outcome can be. You need to tape that thing ASAP if you are intending to try to save it. What do you have to lose, you know?

i personaly would just leave it as is, it will dry and should be fine

To me, it appears to be his main stem. Am I correct, OP?

If it's dried then don't think it will graft back together plant will be fine.

It's a goner.... The whole plant will become diseased. Kill it now to save your pain.

Correct. Just after where its been topped

One side? I'm now thinking the photo you provided might be a small portion of the whole plant.

I meant to say after its been topped sorry

No problemo. Wow that's something else. Thanks for providing the additional photo. I wish I had the experience to tell you if she's going to be okay or produce as much. But, many of the people in this thread seem to think it can bounce back.

I am thinking the plant might re-direct it's energy to the remaining budsites. So, less tops but bigger colas.

Just keep going, you're fine.

I'd turn the whole plant into clones. Even the top that was decapitated. Clone them all.. now I'd have like 15 plants.

Kept that way, I think you are going to be in dire need of stakes for support, or a tomato cage soon.

No need for clones. Only growing outdoors. I've staked it all up now so I guess il see how it goes. Still has another 2 months of veging in her but il let you all know how it turns out

AS LONG AS YOUR STAKED UP SHELL GET BIGGER BRANCHES WHERE THE SMALER ONES ARE
