Main stem snapped

PenguHB
PenguHBstarted grow question 3 years ago
LST gone wrong. Main stem snapped after the last LST session, must have happened a while after adjusting the ties. Taped the damaged area. Will it recover? How long would it take? It looked like only 25% of the stem was holding it together. The area got red/brownish.

if it is a photoperiod, absolutely no worries as you can simply wait for it to heal before changin light schedule... if autoflower timing could impact yield or stress plant out during bloom and pop nanners etc.. just gotta keep eye on it, and still worth trying. tape it up, and as long as some vascular tissue is still functional, it should recover... it'll grow back stronger at the break, too. brownish isn't a great sign... if you think it is getting mushy or infected, i'd prune it off. bsed on picture, i'd give it some time.. looks okay. i'd use some normal tape, as the gauze portion of a bandaid might stay moins and be a foothold for microbial growth... somethign that won't trap water or absorb water etc.

I did that with some auto blue dream matic from fast buds in the day 28 and she did amaizing, even if she doesn't health the main branch she is going to be allrigth

It will recover in couple of days, If you can dim the light will stress the plant less and try to give some algae powder to help with the shock, also remember to take the tape out in about 10 days or will chock the main cola.

I just recovered from this in my second grow I left the tape on 9 days and it was a nice knuckle when I took the tape off. You can see the knot I show it in my video on my critical purple grow.

Usually around a Week or Two...give her some rest now and wait. It looks like you fixed her good so it should be fine...if not you will see in the next days. Best of luck growmie!
