Broke my baby plant
Derbyspecksstarted grow question 5 years ago
So today was I suppose classic newbie messing with the plant too much. I thought I could sink the stem into the coco a little so that it has more support but ended up breaking the stem. I rescued with a mini wooden spoon, some wire and sellotape. Any advice welcome.

Hi @Derbyspecks When plants are small they are quite fragile and should be treated like babies. these things happen, the important thing is to act quickly and fix the damage. the plant seems to me that it will survive, do not move it for about 3-5 days for it to recover, after about 7 days you can point a small fan blowing the wind gently so as not to knock it over and for it to shake slightly and gain strength in the stalk, the more the plant shakes the more the stalk thickens and gains strength. good luck mate 👍

In addition to what @OGgrows said. Silica products can help improve stem strength but it's probably too late for that help.

Stem DMG by Snail (Beaver)Hey,
The Westcoast Og from 420Fastbuds got hardly damaged at the Stem.

Any Rescue Options? would be sad to loose it

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?
