20 day old seedling main stem snapped, "Super Crop?"

[ProtonithJonith]

So, My SINGLE Mandarin Triangle Kush seedling's stem snapped at it's base today, right above the soil. This was due to high winds at the moment. She's alittle stretchy, I corrected the lighting issue the first week after noticing. Also, It didn't spend much time with a snapped stem, as it happened within the hour of me checking up on it twice.

I didn't want to use any tape on this young a plant, so I just added more soil all the way up to right under the cot leaves. The seedling is upright now.

My question really, I read something about this possibly being beneficial? Some sort of super early Super-cropping? If the plant survives, which i have a feeling it will, Will it be "Super cropped" ??

how early was it? I have had some kind of critters, whether it be squirrels or lizards or whatever, eat the tops of seedlings many times before, and if it is too soon, they really don't recover, even when there is still life in the stem... at least, I've never seen it... maybe though... are there any leaves at all, or is it basically just the stem that is left?

I currently have the first set of true leaves fully grown, two 3 finger fan leaves ide say alittle more than half way grown if that even makes sense, and new leaves visibly sprouting from the middle.

The plant actually kept toppling over, So I literally had to repot it to a bigger pot, the stem is still in tact just snapped half way about, I think there's alittle more than the cell wall of the stem holding it but not sure. When repotting I buried it even higher to where the Cot leaves are literally almost covered. Let's see if she bounces back or withers away. lol

I also added White shark mico around the break before potting it up with soil and all around the base of where the plant was gonna fit into.

Snapped, as in severed or just folded over???
Folded over isn't a problem. Severed is usually a death sentence.

Somewhere in between folded over and severed to be honest. Id'e take a picture but It's reburied. There's Def some flesh from the inner stem showing when I looked at it though.

I think it could probably go either way... you'll have to tell us what happens.

Just checked on her, And honestly.. No leaf drooping, No leaf curling.. The leaves seem to have alligned themselves to face the indoor lights the plant's infront of (I think) ..

I think she's gonna make it We'll see in the next couple of days.

I might treat it like a clone, cut the stem at an angle, soak in water with aloe vera gel then plant in soil and let it root.

 

[ProtonithJonith]

She’s growing for sure

Nice job. Yes, it sounds like it's gonna make it.


With a little good fortune, your recently buried stem may produce roots.

Marijuana...grows like a weed!

Yes I hope it does produce roots, else the great white mico I sprinkled around the break be for naught haha.

I'm going to give it a couple days, maybe a week to situate, however the pot it's in now isn't really the Ideal one, as I had to transplant the plant because the cups I were using were too small to fix the bendy stem issue.

It will eventually need another transplant into the final 5 gallon fabric pot, I think from now on I will plant my seeds right into the final pot..

Can you tell if this is slight light bleaching/burn? Tips of leaves are curling up a bit, new growth and closer to middle of plant looks lighter in color. Was testing out how close i could get my light, found a better spot now but heres ~12 hours of light being too close.

She's growin though, so really no big deal

 

[SFnone]

not seeing a lot... if you are curious about new growth in the center being lighter in color, that's pretty common
