I wouldn't say you are totally fucked if it is just one branch. You still have the rest of the plant don't you? I wish you could post a pic to show how far the breakage is. and after a day I am not certain. Anyone else have more experience with this? Messing with the plant and putting more stress on it may be more harmful than losing the branch

Winter starting here in MI, I know what you mean. The best you can do is just keep checking on it. It is what it is you can't stress over it I lost almost my entire first crop very stressful. If the limb isn't limp or wilting you should be just fine. Keep the tape on for a few days or more. It will form kind of a scar tissue as it heals like a branch with no skin. You have to let it get good and healed before you take the tape off.

he is LST I think he may be trying to make all this buds the upper buds. Not sure, I prune for top colas only because of space issues. Its all in how you grow and what works for your system and tastes.
7 weeks in veg your babies should be able to pop into bud unless you have a lot of room for such big plants. They are going to explode for the first few weeks into bud you will forget all about that one branch you lost (if you lose it).

well she looks ok there all super healthy so theres that. The branch other than the fan leaf I removed is perky and green still I have 30600 lumens of cfl on them theres about 7 of em. I am buying 1000w HPS then its flower time probably next week or two weeks I feel like they should be taller or at least more space between nodes. As for lollipopping im against that I like short multibranched squid looking plants hence the name Doc Oc I gotta shoot some pics w/ my phone cus my cameras dead but im gonna go do that now. STAY TUNED and thanks for the advice/encouragement positivity is everything

Good to see it is going well a 1000w is a nice investment will make some dense nugs. Just make sure you can afford the electricity and your not blowing a fuse. And don't worry about plant size I put a 1.5-2 foot plant into bud and its over 5 foot now with still over a month to go. They stretch A LOT in bud.
Do you have a grow journal? You should make one when you get time, we can help each other. I just started mine. The longer you do this the better you get.

I break branches from time to time. I use duck tape or zip ties wire ties. just tape it as tight as possible or zip tie it tight as possible. no your more then likely not fucked. more then likely you are ok . I almost snap one 100 percent off and I just taped it up 2 months later harvest nice yield. and yeah I seen the tape and said wow I rem that lol

That fourth pic is an example of why you dont remove all of your fan leaves. It wont kick back This was gonna be my next thread believe it or not its as old as the rest of them. Im not comfortable with nutrients yet you dont need them outside. I did buy some orchid food its like 30 10 10 but i only use it once a week and only used it twice. I am going to get some fox farm big grow at flower time. Whats your opinion on the stubby little sucker
