part of my plant broke, will it be ok?

[Hilo]

my plant is 3 weeks into the flowering stage and i noticed just a few min ago that a part of the plant broke somehow.

The part that broke was a side branch that was growing up from almost the bottom of the plant, its part of the undergrowth that doesent get much light to begin with ( i use cfl) a top and a little leaf is what broke off.

Will it be ok?

its fine, just discard it...you can actually trim up the bottom section that isn't getting light...its called lollipopping...it directs more nutrients straight up to where you want them to go

You don't want to use the lollipopping technique in flowering, but yes just one branch being cut off shouldn't cause her too much stress.

kinda depends on what they consider their "flowering" cycle...if they threw it into 12/12 3 weeks ago...it hasn't really been "flowering" for 3 weeks...so lollipopping would provide more benefit than detriment

Duct tape........................................

its a bottom branch that broke off from lack of light...ducttaping it would just divert unneeded energy to repairing the nutrient pathways instead of just healing over the spot and going on with its life

I understand.

I also understand it's a weed plant........it'll be fine regardless of what is done.If it is a bottom branch that has some nuggage on it why not keep it is my thinkin.
