Do ganja plants go back after being bent?

I had to move my plants to a neighbors backyard because we are having apartment inspections tommorrow. :spank:

My plants are in the 4th week of flowering, will this mess them up and stress them?

My main question is the plants got bent a bit when transporting them with garbage bag over top. Will they return to normal eventually?

Depends on how much they were bent....and if ya broke them..which would be supercropping as noted above. Supercropping won't hurt them other than set them back a few days as they recover.

I tied this one over trying to keep her shorter. They will try to grow back toward the light....as this one did/is doing. The first time I bent this one, she was back vertical in 6 hours.

If they are just bent they should be fine, if they broke the set back is gonna be more than a few days. Didn't they just pop back up when you took the bag off?

srry wrong if you break the branch better splint it hope it heals, suppercropping is gently crushing the inner hurd of the stem only { not fully breaking the stem in 2} supercrop and bend like in your pic i do alot on taller plants in the garden. ive never broke a branch only crushed the inner hurd and bent them over.

I've accidently broken the main stem of my plants in half before while trying to crush the hurd as Maj. Pothead said. One of them was hanging on by a thread. I supported it with a stake for a couple days and it healed and straightened up amazingly fast. I wouldn't recommend breaking the stem, but from my experience, if you do it will ultimately be okay.

I didn't mean that "breaking" a branch was the right way to supercrop. But IF you accidently break a branch, it has the same eefect as supercropping. Ihad that happen to me on my Skunk Haze last grow.

A good way I hear to correct a snap (if this is what happened) is to wrap it in fishing string (thicker is better). Then covered in duct tape, it will recover. You can fx it.

I completely snapped a plant into two peices, said "WHAT??" and then duct taped it back together. Best yeilder of that crop of quality buds. Snapped it in veg and it was outdoor/indoor grown so the sun had a lot to do with it healing.
 
I just snapped one of my plants. It happens every crop. I like to use a straw sliced longways and use that as a splint. Lightly tape or zip tie and bada bing. :rasta:

Wait.....your plants are in flower and they will be outside for how long? The only thing I would be concerned about would be the 12/12 cycle getting screwed up. Do you plan on covering them?

Shit man,i do this on purpose sometimes, dont worry

As mentioned before its called supercropping and it was people do if they get a plant that grows too high for the area it is in. the bud just grows sideways :rasta: :rasta:

My plant laughs at supercropping. I folded over 6 inches. It saved me a quarter inch in height. The plant just straightened up and went back to where it started. Now I tie them to themselves.
