If it's a bad break, you can splint it with sticks, or bamboo skewers, etc then tape and or tie it.

its almost all the way thru...do i break it the rest of the way off????

 

[siLky joHNsoN]

i dont know if i can tape it cuz its right near a node...do i break it the rest of the way off and can i re-root the top part??? FUUUUCK

If you are in the veg stage and the break was a stem and not the stalk.... You could always make a shit ton of clones. Other than that if its as bad as you depict there is nothing you can do, once air gets in the stem it creates an embolism and the branch will die.

Good Luck

Stem Problems

Stem Breakage - Everyone from time to time has had this problem or will. This is when your stem is broken. Stem breaks can come from a number of things: training, dropping something on it, animals, weather. No matter how it happened the most important thing is to not panic.

Solution - Fixing this is not really a problem. Splint it with something and tape it in place. Marijuana has a great ability to come back even after a stem break. Give her a week or so to recover before she will start to grow again. And be more careful next time!

your're supposed to do it slowly and tie and , wait a few days, bring it lower, tie it,,,, or start earlier before attempting lst.

the above posts just told you what to do

[Igotdialup]

if ur unwilling to try anything, start over... but learn from your first mistakes. In your case, i think its worth it

I have re-rooted broken off main stem and it worked. Basically I moved up a node above the break, cut it there, skinned it, dipped it rooting hormone, and treated it like a big clone. It never wilted, but didn't look like it was growing at all (a couple weeks later) then I stuck it in with my budders and it's now about 14" tall with buds coming all over it.

Anyway, I'd imagine the phase one is in would matter in the success of this, and the size of the piece you're trying to save.

[siLky joHNsoN]

i've broken the same arm twice and recovered...both times broke thru both bones n ur forearm...now i get to see if my plant is as strong as me hahahahahahha...if it survives...i will know we were meant to be <3 lol after a statement like that i just felt the need to put a lil heart

 

[snyder007]

How would you like it if that plant broke your arm three times huh? LOL sorry to hear about your bad luck silky

You can wrap the thing in a tin-foil cast , leave its internal diameter slightly larger than the circumference of the stem so it has room to bulge, spray some water into the inside, and let it be... works fine it can't be that hard.

Oh and there's garden tape, you can use that or masking tape. You could even put masking tape around toothpicks to make a brace... And those are some damn blurry pics, you must have been shaking all nervous 'bout your plant and shit.

Oooooh... Or you can make the "Ubercast" with paperclips, foil, and tape.

 

[siLky joHNsoN]

haha no not shaking...it was just zoomed in and shit and its only 4megapixels i think...i think you can get camera phones that are better than that now...shits like 4 years old...funny tho to think that the blur was from the anxiety attack tho lol... + rep for that any everybody else ur gettin rep just for postin lol
