Broken/Split Stalk

Well I decided to go out, & tie my girls down to allow more sunlight to get to the center of the stalks. I by ooopsie stretched my afghan kush a bit to far, & split the stalk like a wishbone where I pinched the top. I used a zip tie to put the stalk back together (not the yarn in the pic) I was just wondering if I just killed my plant, or will it heal itself? Has this happened to anyone here before, and what was the outcome? oops.jpg

as long as you did a good job putting the stock back together it should recover I haven't split a plant that badley but I just taped it to hold the branch in place and it recovered I think you'll be fine though

Dude your fine i have done that a few times. It will repair itself and get a big stock there where it was damaged like a big knot there. You should try to do your tying down and what not before your stalks get all woody like that.

Think i've heard about this, the theory was something along the lines of stressing the plant through the stalk to help production

Not sure if it actually works i've only read about it.
