MAIN STEM BROKEN

Bottedefoin
Bottedefoinstarted grow question 3 years ago
Broke my stem doing LST last week Tried to put it back together but when I came back to see them yesterday the ridge was even bigger. Will they survive eventually? I put some rocks under the main branches to support them. Plant seems to be doing fine.

Just leave it like it is, your plant will be fine and will not need any sort of bandage or other "remedies". She will grow and flower just like normal and without ant ill affects. It is best to let air get to it and dry it out, bandages can cause excess moisture underneath them and then cause problems with fungal or mould attacks. Wrapping wire or zip ties, can over time, strangle the stem as it grows and kill the plant. This split will not cause any reduction in yield, growth or potency. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Use some surgical tape, the stuff that hospitals use to tape stuff up with. It's breathable and it stretches, only a few quid in supermarket. Just don't force the split shut if its been a week and just tape it up so it won't split anymore.

You should be ok. You should see the split in my last grow.

Wrap that sucker in electrical tape and you're good to go. Electrical tape stretches for when the stem grows bigger.

Tie them up (something that stretch with the steam you don’t want to constrict it)where they stay it be fine just stop the split no worries other then might take some time to bounce back. Happens more then u thin during lst

Put a zip tie around it to stop splitting.
