While I was scrogging I got carried away and broke a branch with 3 main branches on it growing, taped it very well and all but I was going to flip to flower on 13th this month, what do you guys think I should do wait more so the stress go away or just take my losses and flip?

Remind you I got 5 plants growing in there

Just flip anyway, chances are it’ll be fine in a week if you taped it real good. But if it’s time to flip, it’s time to flip. Can’t be waiting for one plant if you got 5 in the tent/room.

If the broken branch shows signs of more wilt than the rest of the plant, it'll probably die. If it seems to keep up with the rest, you should be good. You usually know within a couple days of the breakage.

Give her a chance, she'll probably be fine, especially if you have some experience in breaking/taping them. If the leaves wilt, not so lucky. I hate when I do that!

Wow that hurts but my question for you is wow what ru feeding this thing look at the node dosing it's anxious tight and condensed. I bet it was a pain to work with and defoliate. Good looking plant bud

Its really hard to work with, and im a beginner. I pretty much gave up on defoliation on the sides because i cannot access the plant on the sides, and "through" it.. is impossible because it's so bushy. I'm actually somewhat disappointed. I don't have a lot of vertical space, so it's good that's its stocky, but it's hard to work with. Likely because I topped her too early.

What size space are you in and how high is the light? Also, are you running 100% on the light? My plants started out stacking nodes on top of nodes and once I dialed the light down and lifted it a bit, they started stretching a little more normally. When I went to top 1 of the plants, I couldn't hardly fit my snips between the nodes.

Extremely short nodes and a stocky plant is what I shoot for and I start lst very early to achieve that. You just need to remove more extra branches. Look at how they grow from the nodes and think about how to shape things. It will feel weird how much you have to remove, but you will get the hang of it eventually.
