ok so i was trying to tie down my plant a bit and its in flowering but it was getting to tall... so while bending it over it bent to much and just kinda fell over :cuss: BUT it did not break the stem at all just looks pinched and bent.. i put it back in the light in hope that it will re-strengthen ASAP
am i fucked? will this seriously stunt the grow because its in flowering and i know its not trying to "grow" anymore just flower.. so im not sure it will fix its self

You supercropped your plant, it is a common training technique
As long as you didn't break the branch than it will recover just fine

yeah man you're fine. Keep it bent at a 90 or so angle and then it'll thinken up around the broken area and another branch will grow out of that area. I mean if you just want it straight back up, just stand it up and put tape around it

Hell, as long as it is still attached to the plant it will grow still. Even if you snapped it down. Just don't break it off.

i had to supercrop my one sour cream as i had the same problems with it getting too tall. i was way nervous doing it, but just watched a few vids on youtube and got a feel for what i was doing.. i went ahead and did what i saw on the videos right when the lights came on, and in the morning when i woke up, i was amazed to find the top cola that had ben laying down earlier was now standing upright right at the light, phototropism at work.. i love nature... it didn't stunt a thing and it recovered in like a day or so... i just left the branch laying on the 90 degree angle that it was in when i supercropped it.. it stayed that way for about two or three weeks and is now a lil more straight then it was at first, but definitely nowhere near as straight as it was before i touched it..
i have to say that overall i was very impressed with this technique and my plant didn't seem to mind it at all, and overall i gaiined about 18 inches or so..
hope this helps ease your mind..

Nature is pretty awesome like that. But yeah Ive always been scared to try it out. I think my next grow I'll definitely try it out. Especially if it turns out to be a guy, then Ill try everything on it

yah, i like your thinking..im always telling people if they have the room to keep the dudes around for torturing and lil expirements with em.. see how much abuse they can take, do everything you've always wanted to try on a healthy female and were afraid of killing her.. it can be alot of fun and you can learn alot that then can be applied to your girls..

No you should just throw away the male, it is just as useless to you as it is to someone who doesn't know any better
