bogglegum veggin 8 weeks. was getting too big for others to catch up so i LST'd alittle for first time. tied off like 3 to make full even canopy. didnt even know i broke 1 of the 3 main branches. just now i was admiring my work when i noticed a main branch partially snapped about half way through on angle. :cuss:
it was a moist break since it was just transplanted and watered prior. i pushed back together and tied off with a small zip tie. it's meeting in exact same place and is tight. should i b ok? i plan on cloning this 1 boggle, so i can also snap this piece and make clones, but i had only planned on taking 3 or 4 cuttings, didnt want to touch main branches. what should i do? anything? all other conditions perfect. thx. :joint:

I would say leave it.
You did the correct thing. Juat try not to bump it in the next couple of days.
I have had this happen more times than I can count. I did like you said and it started to heal in a couple of days. There will end up being a knot where the break was.

Good luck!:D

If it is not wilting at this point it should be OK.

Hard to understand exactly what you did but once it heals a bit take that tie off.

Honestly I've mashed the shit out of younger growing tips/branches while supercropping/training/etc. and honestly only lost less than a handful of branches. This plant can take a lot of abuse and still be fine.

You will most likely be just fine. Now you get to watch a supercropping experiment. Same thing happened to me. It's been 3 days now and its about halfway back to standing up on its own with no crutch.

Try using globs of honey to fill in the broken seams. It actually does something, though I'm not sure how exactly, lol. I've had some supercrop damage with some minimal drooping and I just filled in the space and it was fine the next day. Growth continued towards the light as normal. But yeah, do it everyday, it's like a liquid bandage.

You'll be fine Vindeisel :yes: , i've done it twice now (even done it as late as day 26 of flower) and both times the plants grew just as if nothing had happened, infact both times it's happened ( a grow towards end of last year, and on my last grow) those 2 plants turned out to be the biggest yeilders i've ever had, could be a blessing in disguise man :joint:

Cannabis is a very hardy plant and can withstand these kinds of problems you did the right thing. When it heals you should have a bump there where it broke. I have done this as well and never lost a plant to it.
