The more woody or rigid a stem or branch is, the better chance you have of breaking it. You can lst it still after she heals a bit, just ensure you feel for the resistance and don't force her to bend.

And yes, she'll heal completely, in some cases actually getting stronger allowing for more water and nutrient uptake which is definitely a plus for the end results.

I was lsting a little to tough on her. and yeah.. I've read zip ties work along the split, and also tape and that it'll bust right through the tape when it knuckles. will it mend back together or? if I zip tie do I eventually remove the zip ties, and how if so?

which is your preferred method. I'm most scared of fungus or it getting infected.


here it is.
I know this is late-----but just wanted to offer the method I use:

Double sided velcro----works great and easily removed once mended.
Found at Lowes/home depot -----garden section. Some Hydro shops stock it also.

That's looking very thirsty
Probably is, I'm gonna water it tomorrow. I put it outside because I believe it's a male and I want it to flower I so can harvest the pollen and start making my own seeds. It grew much taller than the rest at a fast pace, even after I super cropped it and split the stem lsting. Thankfully I have some spare nutes to help it along.
