HELP PLEASE!! snapped stem

[Newbie1982]

Hi, I'm 7 weeks into Veg and have just discovered one of my plants stems have snapped I'm guessing that the fan was to close and has over powered it!, it has snapped about quarter inch from the bottom but not fully can it be saved?? The plant itself has gone all droopy and flopped!, I've taped the stem and put a splint on it but I'm worried now cause of the general droopiness of the plant, any help will be very appreciated...thanks

got a pic? it should/ could survive depending on how much is actually left.

Sorry mate can't upload pics from my phone but it seems that most of the damage is the outer stem if that helps all the othe stems leaves are still green but the plant itself has gone very droopy like it hasn't been watered...

Marijuana plants are very strong and adaptable.
But I would need a picture to give proper help.

Btw, using tape isn't a good idea.
Use string and woodsticks if possible.
If your plant gets any glue into it (through the snapped part) it could be damaging.

sounds like you've done everything there is to do for now , just have to give it time

Thanks for the advice mate I will change to string and stick tomorrow also any advice on topping? As I've heard it can produce greater yield??

I snapped mine by mistake, in the middle of it, and the plant healed and got stronger where the snap occur


just support her and she will heal in 2 days

Hope it fixs itself cause I'm gutted Tbh they were looking superb before this..

As long as its not completely crimped the plant should recover (if it's being watered.) You'll get a pretty/ugly mark in the stem where the bend was.
This photo is of a bend I made on purpose because my plant stretched way too much taller than the others, and this is how it healed up after some time.

Newb what works better than tape is the green twisty wire used to tie down plants. Wrap it arround several times

idk about 2 days but it will heal i would reccomend taking a playing card wrap it around the break good and tight and then tape the plang card so it doesnt unravel

Gidget that plant looks lush mate..and thnx for the advice on the wire...my main problem is the place where it has snapped its literaly quarter inch above the soil so quite hard to get to with string etc its taped now so I don't want to disturb it any more really incase I do more damage I was more worried about how quickly it wilted!...as I only watered them yesterday and it was fine but like you say they are resiliant plants so hopefully it will pull through thanks again for all your posts helping me in this matter...

if you tie it up and support it it should be fine i did to one of mine and its now my best plant just be patient wth it it will heal itself ....... here it is 1 hour after i snapped it i used a stick to keep the support straight and here is the healed stem about 10 days later notyice the bulb in the stem at the bottom

do you shrink rap it first, or do you use playing cards before you tape?

shrink wrap?

 

[munch box]

shrink wrap?

somebody mentioned it earlier in the thread right before the deck of cards idea, but they deleted it I think cuz I started clowning

 

[Mr.Marijuana420]

i just take one single playing card, wrap it tightly around the break and tape it

Whatever is drooping is through
