Main stem break from storms

Mookeystarted grow question 4y ago

So I'm not too worried because it wasn't in flower and if you notice 2 branches fused that why it looks like 3 branches when there's only 2. Was going to put honey on it, tape it, and post it and put a scrog over the all of them. Any other suggestions

plastic food wrap/graft tape it for a couple of days whilst have it lean on a a support stick.. perhaps would work fine

Yeah I would probably tape it with floral tape for sure, but also get a smaller tomato cage to support the branches once they start to flower so it doesn’t break anymore. They are tough plants ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer no no debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

Any ideas on strengthening it up or will this hurt me further along?😲 I think this plant got knocked over once so perhaps thats it, just hope it doesn't choke the plant further along. Ideas?

4 Branch or 2 Branch Grow?After a 2-node top, I left 4 main branches for this 18 x 24 cabinet. 8 branch grow is a jungle from experience, but any idea if a 2-branch grow would be better than a 4 branch grow with my given space?
