snapped main stem 80% thru

[kotaburnz]

So... I thought I would attempt some supercrop action on my little ladies. Gave her the ole pinch'n'twist then bent her over and snap. Her tops hanging by about 20% of the outer layer of flesh. I used a bobby pin and a piece of matchbook paper to make a splint. Its been about a day or so and the top is a slight bit droopy but still looking ok. Think she will make it? the top is still growing as it normally would but ive also seen clones that grow with no roots so...idk

I don't know you will have to wait and see, in the mean time reduce watering. Lucky you had that bobby pin in your hair sweetie.

as long as its attached even by a thread, I've never seen it not come through..

next time, learn how to supercrop
never pinch or twist.. wiggle back and forth slowly till it becomes floppy and move up the stem. this basically simulates what would happen in nature and thickens the whole plant vs a knot in the stem that turns woody

It will live for sure! The top may die then 2 or more shoots will spring up for you.. Don't twist next time bro.. Just pinch and go back a n forth with it a few times before giving it the power bend

Ya as long as it has enough still attached to get water up the stem it should be fine.

Haha we must have posted at the same time.. I totally agree! When I say pinch, I mean a putting pressure with 2 fingers at point where you want to bend it.. I've snapped plants In half 5 weeks into flowering and plant came out fine

Yeah. Ive been watching tutorials on supercropping. This was my first attempt. Thanks for the advice!

I only water every 3 or 4 days. I started misting and shut my fan off for now because the leaves were cupping up a bit. Thats usualy a sign that the leaves are transpiring to quickly right? So I should foliar spray water to compensate? Oh and the bobby pin is my girls. Sweetie!
