Broken branch Not that worried but would like to ...

hey , i also had a broken branch (light fell on it lol), basically it looked like a gonner, much the same as yours, with a break and some damage on the leaf, but i didn't touch it and somehow the plant fixed it, now it's a normal leaf, with some spots and issues from that day. I don't think the spots will recover, but the branch could have (did for me at least) and there's no reason it should not do great later. good luck man !

As above dude - don’t stress the broken branch, happens all the time and you’re going to end up pruning parts of the plant here and there anyway. As far as size goes, don’t stress that either. She’s gonna hit the stretch pretty soon and as long as she’s healthy you should see her shoot vertical rapidly. She looks good - alls well! 👊👍💪

Hi @Pluxay! Your broken branch is not a problem. In the wild, cannabis is used to be bent/broken/eaten, and usually always recover by driving its energy into other parts of the plant. On a regular strain you would have kept this branch, put it in water and make a clone out of it, but since you're growing an autoflowering strain this is almost impossible. The only trouble you can encounter is tissue infection & mold but this only happens in high humidity environments on unhealthy plants. As mentioned by others, growers often cut parts of the plant, usually with sterlized scissors. Hope this helps, I'll be around, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Well I aint going to sugar coat but regardles of topping, lollipopping, fimming, lst etc., stress is stress, and especially some autos, might not take well to that kind of stress. I hope your autos is one of the ones that pull through like a beast!

It is no more risky than topping, technically is the same thing and everybody TOP their plant, the wound will heal, don't worry. Don't worry about the size, what matters is the amount of nodes, not height. I would recommend that you do some LST and tie down some branches to promote a flatter canopy and give time for the lower shoots to reach canopy level, that will help a lot yield wise. Cheers and good luck.

It is usually not a problem except in a wet en environment which can lead to fungus but it is not so common ! You can try to make a clone out of this branch , usually a lost of time but I've seen pretty big auto clones around the web so everything is possible ! I hope my answer will help you for the best 😁
