Yeah this happened with one of my girls lately, Had no choice but to super crop but a little to aggresive and i think i choked her off. No snap but was dead within a day or 2.
I think as long as u get it quick and early you can save em most of the time.
@Ch33cH, i'm glad it worked out fine for you too, if i lost this one it would hurt my yields immensely as 7 out of the 9 in SOG had a lot of issues from the bought soil and didn't grow too much in veg, this one had to be hurt during late veg to avoid running out of space.
@DoDrugs420, Damn man, she took a good hit huh ouch. Amazing recovery these plants show with a few really simple actions. Although it really is time to sit and pray after you apply them lol Fan fell on my Grow a few weeks back and bent 3 tops double. I used to electrical tape as a rolling paper just wouldnt hold them up. I removed it after three days and boom she was fine.
Glad its worked out for you, that stem will look a bit crazy by time you finish i think lol but i think it will look much stronger for it.
@Ch33cH, mine snapped twice, open skin on bottom but kept the core slightly usable, and complete bent cutoff on the top snap it was like a L shapped snap, a complete 90° angle, had to use hemp rolling papers and water to make a cast so it would hold her straight and changed the paper every 2 days to account for growth, i didn't put paper on the top snap at first but i did it after she decided to show me: "i'm dying bruuuh".
Good thing it all went well, i uploaded a picture if you wanna check out more clearly the process and how her stem is now, it looks like those trees with a hole in the middle of the log, its starting to turn into proper wood now it became twice the normal size.
@Thomas, cheers mate, thanks for the input, i can already slightly sense it developing into something like that, wish you the biggest of buds on your grows and good luck growmie, stay lit.
