If you can right it without severing it and splint it with some tape and sticks or pens or toothpicks or something it might heal. It depends on how bad the break is. If you can re-align it it will heal together.. But once it breaks through all the way you probably won't get the alignment back.

You could attempt to "clone" the entire plant but if it's a big plant it has a lot of root mass to regrow, which will take a while. I'm not even sure if that would work. But what you could do is take several smaller clones off of a severed plant. Read up on cloning, there are plenty of methods that don't involve a machine... you can clone in almost anything... what are you growing in?

I found this in another thread.

OP was diowk, credit where credit is due. Anyways, make a splint.

oh, and you're particularly interested in the information at 6:30 of that vid. I wouldn't necessarily recommend watching the whole thing if you're not totally baked.

make clone of the damaged plant

Twisties. Or tape. Tape is less preferable so remove it after 2 days. It will heal just fine if you match it back up and splint it.

I've got two I have to have elevated... I'm always super cautious when messing with them. I won't be picking up anymore randoms mid grow anymore after hearing this story lol. Hope it splints up fine for you man

thnx evry one ima try a splint but if it doesnt heal does any one think i could make some bho from a 3 month old? kinda cruel to think it so soon-i kno.

I got a Jiffy garden from wally world, and use it for clones, it was $4 or 5 bucks...this is my first time cloning, but they're rooting fine..Rooting powder is 4 or 5 bucks at homedepot or lowes...

I have graphed marijuana plants with Duct Tape , not something I have done regularly but it can be done easily with a clean cut or break !

I use Gorilla Tape. It doesn't stick to itself like duct tape and removes easily after a day or so. I have split so many plants so many ways and have yet to lose one or lose even part of one.

Let me know how that jiffy set up works out for you. I was thinking about giving the self watering one a try side by side with my perlite and rockwool to see which of the three I like most
