Topped plant a week ago and everything was fine. I was lst one of the tops and the bulb partially broke and it was hanging a little. I rigged it up so the top and bulb are now supported. However that part of the plant has wilted. SHould I leave it rigged up supporting it or cut it ???

anterior cruciate ligament? Where did THAT come from? Well if you think it's the ACL then either allo or auto graft it, you know the drill :)

Oops if it's just a pot branch you broke off then cut off and clone it.

If its less the half way thru. prop it in place and use masking tape to hold it together. Ive also used cloneing powder to put on the wound. It should grow back together. Or clone it.

Well propped it up and used cloning gel like a glue ???? How many days should I give it to bounce back ??? And what percentage of my yield did I probally lose if I have to chop it ???

Abit of tape will fix her up. I have snapped a plant completely before and a bit of duck tape and a couple of days of shock (me and her) lol but she turned out to be my best yielder !

Try to support it. The top will either die or repair itself.

I don't try to supercrop anymore because of this.

Does the partially split top stress the whole plant or just that area??? And how long should I give that branch to recover before I cut it off??

take a piece of straw and us it as a splint. If you leave the tape a bit lose, but still holds the stem up, then it will allow the stem to grow while repairing. I will not do it any other way.

my first super crop I ended up having a hole in the middle of the stem on one of the secondary stems. It finished fine, as it was the best yield of the 4 branches.

I have a question about my 4 main branches on my plant. There are also 2 secondary flowers closer to the base should I just trim them off since they are so low on the plant?? Just to concentrate on the 4 main branches ??

When I said it will die I meant it. It would likely have been crispy within a day if it was going to die so if it's still living you're likely good.

As for trimming off the bottom branches you could, but I usually just wait until they are big enough to take clones from them and then cut them off.

Im not doing clones... I think I should trim those 2 brances and let the main 4 scrog into each corner of grow area ??????
