Moved from inside to Outside and the Wind snapped my branches, will they survive?

[MileHighGuy]

I have two bagseed plants that I just put outside two days ago. They were vegging inside under a 400w MH for about 3 months... they were ready to flower.

The smaller one is Handling the wind just fine..

The bigger one had a few big branches off of the main one and that weighed it down alot...

The last few days it has been bent like crazy... then one branch snapped and was dangling...

Today, about 5 minutes ago I checked and my worst fear happened... Crap.

The MAIN big branch in the middle Was snapped and hanging down... It is still connected but only about half way...

I immediately Twist tied Some Bamboo Shish ki bob sticks to the plant to hold the branches straight...

Anything else that I can do???

I know during LST you sometimes break the Inside of the branches a little and they come back stronger... But in this case the branches snapped ans exposed some of the center..

Please let me know If I should Just Cut the Branches off and Re-Veg for awhile... or If I have a chance.

Thanks soooo much.

let me know if you need any more info

If you look close next to the bamboo stick you can see the Break in the stem.

This is the full plant

Any input would be awesome. Thanks

Just tape up the break with some ductape and let it be. I think that's your best bet.
Maybe see if there are any other suggestions first.

A little bit of tape and some love should do it.

Yep tape it, you could stake it too to prevent the chance of the tape coming loose / reduce the amount of tape you need to apply. Technically if you want to do it right pick up some grafting tape ( which does not stick, it ties off, more like a flexible plastic wrap designed for grafting peices of plant stalk together. ) I hear you could also decide to turn the branch into a clone by rooting it.

Tape her up and be done with it. Don't dwell on the past. If she's strong she will survive

 

[MileHighGuy]

Thanks everyone. Really Appreciate it.

I taped her and splinted her with a stick... she looks fine.

I'm guessing she will come back stronger than before.

I'll post an update when she is big and flowering.

Peace

I'm guessing she will come back stronger than before.

Yep, this is what usually happens in this case.
