Help me please....I think I might have fixed it but not sure...here are my stats...
White widow fem
Flower 4 weeks
Growing DWC
Nutes are maxi bloom
Ph runs about 5.6 to 6.0
Extremely slow flower....due to supercropping and pruning.....temps 78 to 80
Both day and night (keeps her short) also add hydrogaurd to rez...

Okay so back to main stem....I almost cut the baby completely off with scissors on accident so as it was hanging by about 10% of stem I reattached and taped and then placed a straw stint around it to keep it in place...
This happened about 2 hours ago so I am going to post a pic so y'all can hopefully tell me if the cola will make it....
Thanks in advance!!

I broke the main stem in half of a Warlock plant 4 weeks into flower.

Just tape it up, put it in a makeshift splint, can put some rooting hormone in the crack of you want but not at all necessary, it will heal. It might droop for a few days, but looks like you got it taken care of from the picture

Heh, well you've taped it well up so you've given it a good chance.

It's not droopy yet. So you've got hope :) Don't mess with it now. Just wait it out and see what happens. I've snapped stems almost in half, taped them back up and had the fan leaf above droop and fall off but then main top make it. Just gotta wait it out now.

She'll be alright. In fact, she'll grow with more vigor.

You basically supercropped it. When I snap stems I like to cut a drinking straw to fit the seam/bruised area before applying tape. Makes for a quicker heal time in my experience with a more stable, broken arm cast- type mend.

Either way, she's gonna be bushier now and put more effort into the surrounding branches...

Is anyone wondering why I'm over 4 weeks and no buds yet lol?? Patience is a virtue....and now I know I just added another week...I have some hairs but they are fine...not at all like the fat pistils I see on others at this stage...I will never veg at 24/0
Bc I think that is one of the culprits plus the stress she has endured.

I've had things like this happen a few times. Just tape it up and give it support if necessary. It should heal, in fact sometimes it will yield more because of the stress it had to overcome. Not always though. You should be good. :grin:

even if the very worst happens and that stem dies, the plant will just put all that much more effort into the others, i've done that on purpose experimenting, and thats exactly what happens, you'll lose little if any actual yield, it'll just be spread out over the other buds

Wait your a month into flower? On 12/12 light schedule? Still looks like vegging to me, can you post another pic of the whole plant maybe? What's the advertized flow length for the strain? No light leaks?

Just out of curiosity.

Ok guys...yes something is def off about the flower or lack of flower. When I vegged I thought I was well informed...I wasn't...I vegged for 24/0 for only 3 weeks...and I wanted to flower Bc I only have about 2.75 vertical height to grow... So all in all here are the stats. Seed sprouted on May 13. Flower began on the 3rd. I use 160 watts at 2700k. Here is a picimage.jpeg
