take a pencil and some string or tape and make a splint. It should heal.

supercropping: they pinch the stem, crushing it, but not breaking it.

the branch has not snapped, it is new growth so the stem was very soft, it was bent over and whent even softer and just bent over nearly 180'
im hoping i havnt made to much internal damage and that the plant will form an elbow and repair itself to carry on the frowth of the big buds.:eyesmoke:

You wanna take care when bending the branches. Make sure you crush the outside stem enough that it doesnt take much force to bend it over. Ive partially snapped them before and just made a splint and they healed just fine. Heres a couple pics of my supercropped plant.

its not doing any harm. i dont know i have all my veggin plants under 3, 2 bulb 42w 4' floro tubes. That bluish one is just something i picked up in the clearance bin at homedepot for like 50 cents.
