Help I broke her

So I was feeding and bending my branches through the net today and I slipped and my thickest and fattest and second highest branch 3/4 snapped. I re tucked the branch so it’s holding the stem onto the plant and put s bread tie there for support but is it a lost cause? Should I clone it quickly? Will it heal itself if I leave it propped closed against the main stem? Trying to minimize my loss here

Leave it alone. As long as you splinted it together it will heal.

you mean it snapped as in you super cropped it on accident or you snapped it clean off? if you just bent it and it snapped but still holds without any splint it will heal the bent part should get swollen. if it needs a splint it should also heal if it's not too bad. as long as you use a splint they should heal if it was that bad. i don't have personal experience besides what i've seen online from videos/photo's but my dad like to super crop until the branches sometimes come right off the entire plant he splints them and they heal up just fine.

Use duct tape and make a nice bandage around the break

I’ve got it to where 99% of the stem is now making contact the way it was before and I’ve moved the end of the branch above the netting and added a zip tie to keep everything in place

No worries. My last grow I broke a branch and only 20% remained. I left it like that, didn’t reconnect it or anything and that branch produced as much bud as the other ones.

you could put a little bit of honey on the break

looks fine to me. Look up "schwazz" and watch some video's shit will amaze you on how bad they look then to where they got to in the end bud wise. if they can handle that they can handle what you did.

An under shot of how it’s together, glad I didn’t break her

How long would you recommend keeping it splinted for before checking to see if it’s healing well? I guess if it continues to grow it’s healing and if it starts dying it’s not.... if it ends up starting to die and not heal itself back on would I be able to cut it and try and clone it after?

idk about the time issue but i recently just chopped up my dads tall as plants to shove um in my tent and under my scrog you can check that out in my grow journal in my sig if you like but like you i snapped them mfers right off pretty good i didn't bother to splint um just gonna roll with it and see how they do. they are actually far worse then what yours looks like because those branches were more delicate and some of um are just hanging on by a thread like i should have splinted em but i didn't. right now it is day 2 since i did it now issues so far i am expecting them to pick up growth in as early as tuesday though. i took a i'd say 4 foot plant and chopped it down to maybe 2 feet then scrogged it.

if your plants are healthy they should pick up more quickly from what i've learned from experience if not it will take longer. his plants were not all that healthy had bug issues but besides for the bug issues they seem alright for being an outdoor/indoor grow back and forth. the massive chop i did is what would fuck them up the most though with my pineapple chunk im growing i lollipoped her and she bounced back real quick.

i thhink your just worrying too much. you ever check on "grafting" that is a better respresentation of this situation imo and how plants can manage some nasty ass damage.

I’ve got her all taped up and healing now, I was originally planning on switching her to flower at the end of this week, should I wait a few more weeks and let her heal first or just leave that tape on there and let her rip?
