When bending, it snaps, weak plant?

[MadR1]

Can all plants be bent? Some of my plants bend fine, to keep the flowers at an even distance from the light, others snap and break more like a twig. A sign that they are weak, or are some strains just not able to do this?

Thanks, peace!

so many variables to what make it snap, and all strains should be able to be bent, just a matter of how you finesse the branch

Tape it up it will heal up

Might be maturity. As a branch gets more mature at is more woody.

I have bent some branches a little each day.Until I got them trained. I have kinked a few too.

Easier to bend when soil is drier. Tape them up and should be fine. Wait a week befor taking off.

Thanks for all the replies. I put a splint on her.

Si puts elasticity in plants and bones.

Some strains are just more susceptible to having their branches break. This is not an ideal trait, but sometimes you need to put up with it if you want to grow certain strains. A plant with weak branches may have some other qualities that are amazing. You just have to be more careful when handling some strains.
