I had two BEAUTIFUL 8 foot plants. (Blue Mylk & Peanut Butter) Last night heavy winds came through and SNAPPED about two feet off the tops of both of them. They're in flower, but far from done. They're not totally detached, but very liitle is holding them on.I know the clock is ticking. What should I do?

You might get away with it - Try taping up the break and using a bamboo cane for extra support, nature has a magic way sometimes.

Do you have some pics of the break - could be a good opportunity for plant bending - were the broken part grows horizontally.

Pics may help. I would splint the break popsicle stick works putting the branch back to the original position then tape it up. After that add some support as well.

Them Storms can be brutal on the plant. Good luck sucks when that happens.

when this happened to me once, the breakn mended it self with a massive knuckle, the stem grew sideways and the buds upright so kind of like plant bending, got some real nice buds of this one.

Duct tape

You can tape them up or just lop them off and finish the plants without them.

Thanks, Guys! I went right to work. I used a bamboo cane and gorilla tape. I’m going to have to defoliate in order to ease the weight on it, but thankful for your advice.

Nah. That's where most of my biggest buds developed. Had to save it. It's ugly as hell, but I think it worked.

They weren't strong enough to hold this stuff in place. Had to break out the duct tape!

I believe I may end up on a bend too. It's ugly, but I think the surgery worked.

Brutal indeed. I think I may have saved them. Thanks!

A buddy of mine used to grind up some aloe plant and put that in the break, then duct tape. Late supercrop!

The breaks were critical. If not for Gorilla tape and bamboo poles, they wouldn't have survived. Thanks for your help.
