snaped braches

[skunkbudz420]

so i checked on my plant this moring and my light had fell down an snaped 2 branches not of just snaped like super cropping but its 3 weeks into flowering. are the branches going to die?? should cut them or leave them on?? can any one help a grower out.. thanks

 

[wiseguy316]

duct tape them back on if they aren't off, they will still eat..maybe some bread ties to keep it strong

lol, wiseguy beat me to it. duct tape is your best friend man

you can throw a little clonex in the wound too, hormones will help it heal. Then tape it!

I have wrapped sewing thread around such breaks, alot of thread and they have healed up fine, I had this happen once on my little bonzai purple krunchie trees and these were real stiff and snapped bad, one branch is a good part of the yield so I woulda been mad if I lost it.

hold the plant so the break is pushed together like it should be like where it was b4 it broke and then wrap a bit of gauze around it and then some tape over the gauze(you need something inbetween the plants and tape since if you leave the tape after it heals its just gonna prevent the stem from getting any bigger like normal and the branch wont really do much at all. alright, now that you have that part done find something you can tie the branch to to help support its weight while it heals. its not a big deal ive broken more branches than i can count and never have had one that didnt recover.

I like painters tape. A nice tight but loose at the same time rap job and ur in action. Easy to remove too.

+1 to painters tape (or masking tape) i think every other tape is a bitch to take off

I snapped a branch when I transplanted right after I started flowering. I used 2 popscicle sticks as "splints" on the stem and bread ties to hold it in place. Its been a lil over a week and so far so good, I'll post a pic when the hubby gets home this evening.

thanks everyone i tied it up and painters taped it up ill let u know how it goes i lost one bud but its ok more where that came from..

Painters tape should be okay, but it might not work to well when it gets wet. Best option is to get grafting tape which is self-adhesive and a bit more porous.

Cant get a pick right now but the sticks did work!! Fantastic actually! We were able to loosen them for growth until it was super strong again...
