i was raising the lights for my plants when i missed the loop and it fell directly on the top of 2 of my plants.one of the colas from the first plant broke a little it was bent more than anyting all i see is a slight tear in the stem. now its not completely broken off so i just proped it up against the wall and used another plant to hold it up. now is it gonna be ok i'm on the last 2 weeks of flowering so i know this time is extremely imprtant to the plants cycle. my 2nd plant that got hurt was bent pretty bad and is an auto flower. is this going to draw back the plants flowering time and by how much would you say? what else should i do to help the plant not stress as much during its recovery? will it recover full or i will need to prop it up permenately till harvest? thanks RIU. this is my 2nd harvest and i fucked up so bad the first time. thought this time would be better. mistakes happen though........

Don't worry Dank as long as the stems aren't compeletely severed they'll recover in no time. U could patch the stems up with tape if it helps & also support them with something so they don't keep bending sideways. For the auto it won't postpone flowering (would be great if it did so the plant gets bigger) but it will stress it a little bit so growth will slow down until it stands up again but I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck

Not a plug for these guys, but Fox Farms "Boomerang" was made for problems like this, and like Zaycor said, tape it with some plastic tape. B-1 is good as well and probably far less expensive than "Boomerang".

Tried using tape didnt work the nugs are way to close to tue atem where it broke. To hard to get in there. So i used a string tight to the light to hold it up. Seems to be doing the trick till it can recover. Thanks again. I hope it heals ):

Hopefully you are close to finish line. . Autos don't have time to recover ( life cycle ) BUT you can partial harvest ( like the damaged bud and let the lower stuff go til the end of the plants life.

Super cropping is the name for a High-Stress Training (HST) technique when you stress the plant by slightly hurting it in a planned way.

As a result, the plant will grow bushier, with more buds, and possible even higher THC levels! This is the plant's natural response to protect herself in the wild, in case things go wrong. As the grower, you can take advantage of this technique to get bigger yields and more potent buds! haha. was just a joke, but depending on your plant wounds it might actually be beneficial haha.

You basicly use your fingers, press and gently roll until you hear a small snap and bend down towards the direction you want your plant to keep on growing. once you get more experienced with you will do it without thinking, you wont even need to roll your fingers.
