Today I transplanted my sour diesel plant to a bigger pot & trying tou avoid breaking any of the beautiful white roots I snapped the main stem a bit but not all the way off . :mad: I lifted it back up & put soil to hold it up straight & gave a drop of superthrive to the water I added . So it appeared to be in order & I came out an hour later & the top was hanging over . Not because of the stem bending but because of the stress from the snap . Please help me , any advice will do justice . Is she gonna make it ? :confused:

she will do fine with a little tlc. I would wrap the break
with electric tape or duct tape to stabilize the stem.

I really don't want to touch it as the stem is very close to being completely off . Is it fine if the medium is holding it together ?

I don't think I would put soil around a broken stem, maybe a splint or the tape until it heals.

You should give it some sort of support other than just the plant holding itself together, even if u don't prop it back up and tape it together, put something under it to support its weight, don't worry too much isn't that how people 1st kinda figured out how to super crop plants anyways?

And a pic would make much easier to diagnose.

Lolz Before seeing the pic for some reason idk why I had pictured it flowering and the cola leaning over I guess I was stoned, that y i was talkin bout sumptin to hold up the weight Doh!! But from ur pic thats what u should do to give it some help while it heals.

You asked for advice and got good info, splint and tape. If you break it off completely attempting the fix just treat it as a cutting and root it. It might die but that happens. Anyway I am a newbie, on my second grow, and eight week into flower I almost completely severed the plant at the trunk so I know just how bad you feel.


No way around splinting and taping or cutting it and rooting.

I did everything people advised & a little bit after I took the pictures approximately 1 hour the leaves started drooping dramatically & looks as though it's going to die . Is this expected ?

Nah u don't know that its still young enough, if that is happening and u think its dying maybe treat it like a clone, cut it completely from the roots dip it in rooting hormone plant it in a cloning medium, rockwool etc. I've used a 50/50 perlite vermiculite mix for cloning before. I'd try that before I just give up on it and chuck it. If u have all the materials that is.

If the root system is big enough you'll be good to go. Breaking the tap root is just going to give you a bushy root system :). She does have the potential to die, but Honestly mother nature can surprise you. At this point you can only hope for the best and be patient with her.

make a bridge between the broken stem, this will support it and the stem will make a bulb where it was broken. if you broke roots, no big deal. they will come back. poke holes in your soil, this may help to aerate the roots. she needs air now, do this as soon as possible.

A bridge how do u mean build a bridge? Just tape it together and use a splint or sumptin like that? And I wasn't sayin to chop it down, that was only a last resort instead of chuckin it.

build a bridge as in put a stick across the break and tie it down on both sides of the break.
