main stem snapped!!

I dont know what is going to happen with one of my 44 inch girls... they are second week of flowering and I was tying them down this evening and the seventh and last one snapped just where the base of the woody trunk is meeting the main stem. I specifically heard a "snap" but she was still attached a bit. I righted her and supported the stem back right up. It is thoroughly supported from three spikes and zip ties. any other pointers or maybe some vitamins?

Do you think she will live through the night or am I going to lose her for sure.......?

Has anyone else had a problem like this and she has lived to make beautiful flowers?? Or was it the opposite?

Thanks for listening to my whining.

That's terrible.

no shit.

does anyone know if she has a chance or do i now have 6 ladies instead of 7??

Here you go bud I hope this helps

Never give up!

Shanti your link is bad

wrap it, with some seran wrap, and then some electrical tape... the plant can heal some pretty bad wounds... i'll try and find a link with pictures to show you

damn, i seem to just be copying videomans stuff to share with people, but, he explains it pretty good (sorry no pictures though) this would work well too

"Last year, my cat toppled over one plant, she was a decent size too, about 48" tall, and she snapped right in half! Not completely through, but broke in half, and I got a straw, took a razor and sliced it down the middle and wrapped it around the stem, like a bandage. Within 5 days, it was completly healed.
What was kind of neat was that where it broke was about double the thickness of the rest of the stem cause the plant was concentrating on that one spot."

^^wop at that one, works fine

and in general, stuff to fix a broken plant:
-straws
-tape
-tooth picks
-wire or/and string
-bamboo sticks and slivers
-pieces of pvc pipe use for ele. wiring
-and normal tools of trade (razors, knife, scissors and such stuff)

even if i'm not to impressed with this wire method since it can do easily more harm the good... stick to straws, tooth picks and some tape and be fine

Geez, I was going to give my two cents worth here but lumberjack_ian beat me to it. Thanks for looking out lumberjack_ian dude!
Duct tape works well too.
Peace

haha, i've been pimping out your posts all day, i should thank you!

No problem, it's all good buddy!
Just keep harvesting.
Peace

made it through the night all and day today all while she moved and bended on her own...

duct tape + zip ties cut in segments + triple stem support = GOOD.


thanks guys

best of luck!!!
