Ok here we go, where do I start? First I woke up to find one of my four foot ladies laying on the ground, completely snapped at the main stalk. Upon further inspection I also noticed that one of big branches of my five foot sour diesel also snapped but I was able to tie it up and hopefully save it. The question I have is with the one thats fully snapped, is it possible to clone off of it beings its about 2-3 weeks into flowering?:cry::cry:

you can try but theres no garentee. especially if there in flowering then its a no go but give the broken branches a clean 4 degree cut and put em in water if they start to bounce back sweet if not well its too late then GL

Try it, what can you lose? (anymore than you already have). They will snap back to veg. under 24/0 light.

Good luck & good grow.......BB

yea i believe its possible to clone off the branches that fell off.

I had some crazy ass wind down here in socal a few days ago as well with hail and all sorts of shit, i went out in the middle of the pouring rain and hail to find like 3 branches off my first tree :(( then another like 2 off one of my other giant christmas trees.

I say clone them to reveg. I have done it successfully many times. The growth will come to a halt but it is worth the wait. The picture on the right is a big bud reveged that I just took this morning. It should be a good half pounder or better.

Sorry about the sideways shots. The Big bud revegged is in front of the blue bucket to the right of the chick. The plant on the left is a White Widow.

That plant is gonna be 8 oz? I hope you get it, but that seems like a lot from her. My plants look about the same size so I hope you're right. :)

Well Guys, I survived the wind just fine....BUT....I was cleaning a "misting" nozzle in the overhead of my grow, using a 6 foot step ladder. Then, while taking a break, sitting on my "throne" on the deck, with my cat "Duke" on my lap, a big ol' Blue Jay lands on the overhead PVC lines and starts "squawking". Well, Duke was having NONE of this, and proceeds to fly off my lap, and "launch" himself
straight up the ladder. HE, gets all caught up in the bird netting in the overhead, the ladder falls over, and rips about half the branches off my beautiful LA Woman! And the fucking Blue Jay flys off muttering about "avian intolerance".
All very funny except the tearing up of the LA Woman.
Yeah.....I got a LOT of LA Woman cuttings now! CRAP!!!!!!
Oh well, I'll look back one day and get a giggle......BB

Sweemoo, thats about what mine looks like. How much did you end up getting after it finished?? Ive got the whole plant and was debating what to do with it, not sure if it was worth the manicuring time for the premature flowers.

Your right BB, sad and funny at the same time. I think its more sad though.How far along were you into flowering when it happened, and what was your yield?

Oh yea, no doubt there at all. The chick in the pic is 5'3. You may not be able to tell but it only just started flowering and it has many, many branches. Take a close look at the branches above the main stem. She is still a baby now. It will be 6-8 foot when done (if all goes well) and it is a Big Bud. I will take another shot, this time a close up tomorrow.

Just as an example, my avatar is a haze that yielded 3.5 dry. Indoor plant that was only 3 ft tall. Had I cut the lower popcorn branches probably more. Here area a few pics of the bud. I'm expecting 20-30 of those for arm size colas.:blsmoke:
