Hi my 17 day old white widow plant had it's main stem damaged exactly above the cotyledons and the top part fell to the side forming a 90 degree.

Im not sure how big your plant is, i'm guessing smaller; when this happened to me i would get a spray bottle load it with fertilizer spray it in where it snapped. Then i took clear strong tape and reattached it, this happened too 3 of my plants and they all survived.

Don't sweat it. As lime said, let it heal for a week, if it doesn't you've got a topped plant. Good one lime!

I snap stems and branches left and right, just about every plant. I take stems and branches from harvested dried plants and use two or three as splints with either twist ties or masking tape to hold them in place. I've got a 95%-98% heal rate on branches, I don't remember ever losing a stem. I've had stems snapped with just the 'skin' keeping the halves together and they've healed.

You've just got seedlings, you could tie those in knots and they'd be fine. Do not worry. I use 2" hydro net pots with the bottoms cut out to prop young seedlings: Turn upside down for a tip resistant cone; snip up one side of the net pot so it can be opened like a book - to take off after the stem strengthens and the leaves fill out.



Good luck!

she will be fine ,

hell i accidentally split my main stalk like a wish bone when i was tieing down branches for lst

all i did was squeeze it together and used electrical tape to hold it together

and she is doing fine now ....

so yea your little girl will be ok my man ....

edit ,

by the way ,

your plant looks like its stretching ,

lower your lights some ,

also you can ether add more soil to cover up more stem , which will eventually grow new roots

or you could replant it , with the stem a little deeper in the soil...
