Hey! Ok so I snapped one of my sattelite branches yesterday while doing some work on her, didn't break all the way off and only leaked a little from a small cut in the outer "skin" wrapped it in duck tape and propped it back up with a tie, should I let it heal or harvest it early

If the leaves on that branch don't look healthy over the next few days then I would just cut that branch off at the break and then just cover the cut with something to keep it clean so it doesn't stress the plant to much. I've done the same thing before and some act like they never broke while other just don't come back.

Cannabis is very resilient so you can let it heal , the buds will not get as fat as the others because the plant will use energy to heal. If I was you I would cut the stem to have a preview of my future harvest

Hi JO_Grow Tide it up tape it up really strong to the same spot you broke. And it should be healed in 6/7 days. If to close to Flowering it's possible it won't have time to recover. Good luck.

As you're still a couple of weeks away from a chop, I would suggest taping it too. We've all done it and most of the time they heal themselves just like we do. If it was closer to harvest I'd probably be tempted to rip it off and try it! šŸŒ±šŸ˜‚

Iā€™ve snapped branches and helped the plants heal with duct tape before. Really it depends on the plant. If it were me I personally would watch it and wait. If it appears to droop more than 24 hours Without regaining any vigor then Iā€™d go ahead and harvest that branch. One branch shouldnā€™t hurt the plant too badly if this does happen. If it doesnā€™t droop at all, or droops and then perks back up; Iā€™d leave it and let it finish out.

let it heal. itll recover. no problem.even if not , you can harvest only that branch. some of my harvests take days so it won't be a problem for you as well.
