you can leave it just like it is.. that is just called supercropping and it will recover fairly quick.. i had to super crop my sour cream last grow and it did fine, although i just bent it and not snap it.. i still think that it will be fine though.. just leave it bent over and it will slowly turn back upwards towards the lights.. its actually kinda cool to watch..

If it's snapped at a 90 degree angle you will need to splint it. You can take a straw and cut it lengthwise then wrap it around the stem and tape on loosely. It will repair itself that way but if you leave it kinked no nutrients will flow to the top and it will die off.
it didn't snap completely off but it did snap fully. like if i didn't have it leaning on top of a string it'd probably fold over itself from the weight.
if i just left it like this will it whither away and die?
i want to reduce height. do i have to split it up with tape/straw?

No leave it , sometimes the one you accidently snap like that do the best in the end

its happened hundreds of thousands of time to hundreds of thousands of people.
just stake and tiie it back up and it will be perfectly fine. might take about a week or a little more and then it will start growing faster than ever.

Leave it bent over, the plant will react by forcing more nutrients to the upper part of the plant. This will be the best yeild you have gotten yet. A snap means you went a little too low, don't worry and I wouldn't splint it if I were you "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger" especially true for marijuana. I did 1 grow breaking all the plants and yeilded 5oz. per plant in 45 days. I did another without breaking and only yeilded 3-3.5 oz. per plant. And the second grow didn't have as dense of buds as the first.

Take a look at the punishment this guy is giving his plants. Snapping 1 branch doesn't matter at all.

There's a difference, notice how he twists them before snapping. That prevents the stem from actually breaking to the point where it's unrepairable and leaves enough tissue intact to let nutes flow to the top. I wouldn't put my plants through so much stress. I assume yours snapped straight though so it's kinda like creasing a flexi straw and flow will be reduced dramatically. I am surprised if it didn't die off by now, did you splint it?

if i get in a car accident and am paralyzed how exactly would that make me stronger? lol. just cause something hurts you doesnt mean your gonna get stronger since you didnt die......

btw, i wasnt saying his plants stem will not get bigger as a result of this, just that the theory of what doesnt kill you makes you stronger being flawed.

yes i do this way were you broke it will heel and become strong there. it needs help standing now. i have done it and were she broke she notted up and got strong enough to hold her own self up. make no mistake it needs it. if you broke your leg would you need a splint? why wouldnt your baby need one to. I treat all my lady like there are human and they love me for it. buy giving me sweet buds. they are my babys. so yes do it and you will be happy.
