Broken branches
IniquityX12started grow question 7 months 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

Recovery after broken stemAccidentally broke main steam right before juicy top with some pre-flowers (white hairs). Photos were taken 24 hours after accident. I did the right thing with fixing it with tape? Or it will not produce flowers now and was it better to cut it out completely?

Seedling falling overIf my seedling looks too heavy…like it’s about to fall over, should I brace it with a tooth pick or just let it be? Did I over water it?
I ended up just pushing some of the top soil up against the stem to brace it for now. Hopefully this will strengthen soon

Stem Damage in High Winds/Tropical StormsI live in Thailand, it's very hot a the moment so we are prone to tropical storms. When this happens it's very windy.
I am concerned this will cause damage to the stem of the plant/s. Is it advisable to use a stake to support the plant stem, or will the plant just deal with it?
