Broken branches

IniquityX12
IniquityX12started grow question a year ago
Ripley’s OG auto flower - broke two branches almost completely off the stalk adjusting tie downs and immediately duct taped them back together. In week 5 just starting to flower. What are the chances these branches mend back together and continue to grow?

you'll know by tomorrow. chances are good. i'd wait longer to remove tape, but just looking at the leaves fill back up with water (maintains proper turgidity), you know it's trending in right direction. Gently pull it off at some safe, later point and before it restricts growth -- lots of leeway here, so dont jump the gun.

Chances are pretty good. These plants are awesome and can take a beating. I've done this several times. (gotta stop working on the training when I'm stoned) I probally have around a 90% success rate. just have to make sure there is good contact so it can mend itself. you can also use some wire or tooth picks if you need more support. Good luck my friend

Depends on how well they are pressed together. I would say 50 50. But a breathable tape is better or even zip ties if able.

They will be fine even if hanging on a bit. Good things to know: tape up and fix asap. It'll heal Try bending more gradually even pinching the stem to soften the in side. Instead of training in a day try doing it a bit each day. If topping, leave a stump. This will prevent splitting later on
