Hello, I just realized that one of my 3 plants has split near the base of the stem.
She is 7 weeks into flowering and this has to have happened in the last couple of days.
Other than some clawing, she has been problem free…until now at least.
What, if anything, should I do?
It takes a lot of force to squeeze the two sides back together…..as is I’d have to use vice grips.
Thanks for advice…..IMG_8027.jpegIMG_8028.jpegIMG_8025.jpeg

If anything just bind it up tight with electrical tape.

Electrical tape is your friend. It looks like it has already started to get woody. I wouldn't worry about squeezing it back together. Just wrap a couple laps of Electrical tape around it to keep it from splitting further.

What strain is it. She looks beautiful

A lil bit of honey to keep it clean and duct tape the hell out of it it will heal fine skip the honey if you any pests however but honey has some anti bacterial and anti viral properties and it speeds up healing ime ive seen a plant have a light fall on it in week 2 of bloom snap in two be duct taped back on and become my friends highest yielder ironically mind you critical is pretty hardy but yes it suprise you the abuse cannabis can take and survive

I've had this happen multiple times. Dont stress over it. She's pretty much done growing at this point, so a non-stretching duct tape is perfect. Pinch it together the best you can, tape her up, and she won't miss a beat. These plants are tough muthasuckas. If it help, use a zip tie further up the two branches to help pinch it together.

It's always traumatic the first time it happens.

All you need to do is support it. If you think flowering will finish in a week or two, tape will work but floral wire like people use for bonsai is the better option. It allows airflow. Tape or a wrapping can encourage mold if it gets moist, and the split is vulnerable.

No worries man. It will just be a little knot there when heals and take the tape off. We have all done it.
I did training my branches before. And transplanting one that had a big ass stalk all them healed
