HELP PLEASE!!! snapped the main head off of my plant.2weeks into flowering.

ok,shit i'am so mad at myself right now.i had a plant that was just stretching like crazy during these first 2 weeks of flowering and i was trying to bend the head down and kinda train it to grow sideways but broke it completely off...what will happen now will it continue to bud or what.

It will bud, and the other secondary branches will just get larger than they would have.

how long has it been broken? if not too long, try a splint at the break and tape plant back together. i've done this successfully on side branches a few times. GL

Sounds like everyone is right! Lol. I wouldn't suggest trying to put it back into veg. I know how I react when someone messes with my sleep schedule! But if it snapped off recently you can graft it right back on 90% of the time.
I use to take a string and tightened about 2 or 3 turns around a screw. you don't wanna do it all at once because that can stress a plant. in my opinion a plant will herme as a natural reaction to being fucked with too much. Don't beat yourself up about it it's just a plant and we all learn everyday

this happened to me like 2 weeks ago, biggest plant, main stalk/main head whatever. your probably not gonna lose any yield, and whats gonna happen (this seems to be the case with my plant) is the 2 most lower branches will get pretty big and strong and its gonna be like that main cola is divided. Could even increase your yield.:-P

here is the thread i posted when i did this and freaked out
