I broke my plant in 1/2

[sallad82]

can it survive? It snapped while training...it split on the sides, still in tact. What should I do to keep it alive?

I have heard that if you broke it but its still attached somehow that you can tape the stem so it stays upright and it will grow back together.

dam that sucks dont tape it tie is back together and how old is it

 

[sallad82]

its together and upright...leaning on another plant. its two months old.

tape it looslely back together if the stem isnt lined up perfectly, because if you tie it then when it grows around the string you will have a weak spot in your stem and it will almost certainly break again.

that makes sense and only 2 months old it should be fine post some pics so we can see wats going on with it and we can make for sure

usualy it grows back after a while if im not confused that sounds exactly like "supercropping" it grows backstronger infact. dont tape it. the stuff in tape is very unhealthy for anything. most tapes atleast.

It will be ok I snaped one in more than half way through the stem, this is gonna sound kinda funny but I actually just held it together and crazy glued around the outside. The fan leafs above the break drooped for a few days but after that it was back to normal.

DO you know how to make a graft?

You cut the branch to form a wedge, then slice into the stem where you want to graft it, insert the wedge into the graft and tie it all up.

Weed can be grafted on hops, can't see why it can't be grafted back onto itself, in fact some people grow one rootstock, and then graft many cultivars on it.

that sounds intense.....shes doin well though. Thank you all.
