One of my girls is measuring close to 3' and is in 1st week of flower, (she's a beast, thick and bushy). Anyways last night I was doing a little tying down and sure enough, snap! I looked down and there was a split in the main stem where I topped a while ago and where the main tops base is. The split is goes about 3in down and I put some plant wraps and twist ties around it to hold it together. Is there anything else I should do, I was thinking of using zip ties to get it a bit tighter. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks- Ds

I did that shit myself once, my split was probably bigger. I wired it up and smeared some rooting compound on it . and it was fine.

as long as it doesn't hermie from the stress you're good. I've seen many plants explode with growth from it actually, in my garden. I used to paint on that black tar on the wounds on plants to fend off insects and help with recovery, but I don't even bother with this anymore. just keep an eye open for nanners, some strains don't like stress.

This happened to my plant. 2 inch split, taped and tide together with hemp and it actually made every stalk from the split boost in growth. I'm 3 weeks into flower and she's doing better then well. Just my two cents, I was totally stressed when I did it I thought it was over, but it just made it stronger.

Easy man just take some tape or some string and wrap it around the split area for a week or two the plant is far from fragile and in nature much worse has happened but they keep on growing!!
