Can any one advise, It appears that its been split for a while?
I cant tell how long.

1. It WONT go back, forcing the two stocks back together appears that its set now in the brokwn way. (I cant be sure because im noobe)

2. Do they sell some goop to protect down there or weld back?

I supported it with a stint and a brace.

NOTE:
1. Its a 6 footer
2. Forcing back together requires great force.
3. It never really goes back.
4. Cant tell how long its been split (Although I do spend quite a bit of time down under the plants and just noticed today)
5. This plant was trained and topped.

had the same problem. all i could do is tie it together, and yeah it takes alot of force. I wouldnt worry about it. Tie it the best you can, it should get sufficient liquids and do fine.Half of my plant was ripped apart laying on the ground, i tied it the best i could and shes looking great. Might want to reinforce that side of the plant too with a stake.

I reinforced it, I did not ~FORCE~ it back together because I cant tell how long its been cracked! (Trellis supports)
Its a pretty massive stock so perhaps its a week or two old and thats why it refuses to go back.

I thought about pushing the hell out of it and force it but chickened out.

Perhaps the crack will air dry and go on its own? Must be 1 inch apart still.

She'll be fine. I had the same problem with this plant, before I even switched to flower. Just got to agressive with the bending. Can't really see the split at the base of the stem because the flash. But it looked virtually identical to yours, it's right where all the branching comes out of the main stem.

And this is what I just harvested off it.

You'll be fine bro. I didn't even tie mine back together. Just don't yank on it or split it more.

I just snapped one of my branches almost all the way off I made a splint and tied it back up and not one of the leaves on that branches have wilted or changed at all and its been like 5 days since the incident. Marijuana is a tough SOB and I would just tie the best you can and let nature take its course.

Well I guess its ok, every leaf is fine.

My seed and feed guy said dont worry, even if its your best girl and it dies its ok.
He had two blow apart last night also and they are 100% fine.

Safe so say if its ok then its going to survive?

yep. you may want to put something over the wound to discourage insects from getting in there, but it's been a week, you probably don't need it... if it's a splitter, you may want to stake it earlier in the growth cycle next time (if you've cloned it)... good luck!
