One of my bottom side stems snapped off just now while I was trying to adjust it under my screen. I just taped it back on for support. Anything else i should do?

Sorry for the sideway pics. I dunno why it does this everytime I try to post directly from my iphone.

If it snapped off completely you are pretty much fucked. Taping it, with a good seal, MIGHT save it.

If you can tape it up good, and get the pieces close together she will heal her self
Sorta like Grafting, but you didn't want to do it LoL
You should be okay, like I said if you can take the pieces close together.

Good Luck on Your Grow. :weed:

The big leaves have wilted dry but the new growth seems to be alive and well. :crossing fingers:

I snap mine all the time when I am supercropping. I never thought taping was the answer because that wound will need air. All I ever do is take some twine and very loosly wrap it around the broken brance and tie it to a strong branch. You will be able to take the string off in about 4-5 days and will never know what happened. Usually makes the plant stronger

If it has completely snapped off then make a fresh cut on both ends so they are the same size and can be easily healed up by taping it up.
