What part snapped? The main stem? The break will probably mend if you put it back together, splint it and tape. I've broken large stems of the main stem - just tore them almost all the way off - bending plants for a scrog. I'll tape them up with duct tape and they do just fine.

First off, don't touch it until you KNOW what you are going to do. It was a mistake I made, Trying this, trying that and messed it up to the point of it dying off. Stake it, tape it, splint it, whatever you want to do, just pick one and do it right the first time. If you end up messing with it a few times, you'll lose it.

Just broke the main stem last night myself - doing exactly what Pharma is talking about. Thanks for the thread - I taped it up and supported it with a cup. Just wondering how long they usually take before I can take the tape off. Acted quick, like a paramedic. lol - it was as if one of my kids had just broken a limb. Just glad it will repair itself. It broke right where the action was really taking off. Leaves are still normal looking color and perked, but you can see a bit of stress. They're not happy, but I think they'll make it.

If you can't get them to heal though, throw it in some bubbling water for a while and root it out. Never say die man...
