Help, I topped my plant at about 8 weeks of age and I have been pulling down the two main branches with strings to make the plant bushier and allow lite into the middle but I screwed up and pulled too tight and partially split the trunk witch is quite thick. Is there anyway I can mend it besides just using tape. Help it just happened minutes ago...
I split the trunk of my plant and need help ASAP...

loosen the strings and duct tape man it aint pretty but you need to close it then when buds get heavy youll need to support branches or the main stem probably wont support the weight
edit: youll see your growth slow or stop for awhile (week my guess) thats one of the biggest stresses to a plant

Electrical tape it for a week. Put the tape on inside-out so when it stretches it pulls the tape off on its own. Should be fine as long it's not a 4" split lol
