Help! Decapitated Top!!! Smashed plant

78benaes · Dec 7, 2009

SO I was messing around with my light system while the plant was in the grow room and thats when disaster struck. My lighting system came crashing down onto my plant. So my friend and I decided to stich her up using copper wiring. DO you think this will help?

Here are some pics. its one week under 12/12 should i continue 12/12 or flood it with light? Any opinions are helpful.

sorry the upload isnt working properly for me.

looks fine... copper isn't too tight is it? wouldn't want it to cut into the stem
if the top stays green you're golden

i had lights mounted on a wooden board all come crashing down on my mother (she was young) for an unknown length of time... i found it and only had MINUTES to repair her because i had other obligations to attend to... she came through

some peopel jsut use cello tape but as long as the copper doesn't cut into her she'll be fine

if your just a week into flower then she's gaunna grow quite a bit real soon. i'd keep a really close eye on that wire and maybe think of removing it in a few days or its gaunna cut into the plant and choke it. it'll probably have healed enuff in a few days to tie it up to an overhead support with string. i keep on hitting the heads of my plant every fuckin time i water and feed them but they seem to bounce back and i know of friends who've done the same thing. the little babies are a lot tougher than we over protective parents give them credit for.

i know you all can't tell from the picture but it split like a banana peel where it was earlier topped. the two stop stems were almost 12 inches long, so they were still connected but hardly. :joint:

Update its been a few hours and now the plant appears to be severely drooping. I dont think its going to make it. Would rooting gel be any benefit to its wounds?

It should be fine. U could actually take a clone off another plant, add it inside of the break, and grow two strains off of one plant. TLC and itll be fine.

Update. The plants topped branches seem to have taken a turn for the worst. Now i need advice as to whether i should just chop off the top? and if i do what should i do to close the large wound?

is not looking good i would have tried to clone it when it split, but im not a pro

Hey all its been just over a month now. Unfortunately i lost the tops to the plants due to potential disease. I cut them off and let the plant do its thing. I was able to save one of the other branches that snapped off during the accident. Here is what she looks like now!
