Did it break off and you just stuck that broken part into soil?

She's not looking too hot...
Other ones look good though. She will probably lag behind if it were me I'd scrap it and focus on the nice ones.

Tie her down with some tape making sure both ends touch each other and there is a sure chance she will survive. I would put a dome over the plant to make sure the humidity is high seeing she'll be having a hard time getting any water from the roots seeing she broken.
It's weed after all and they can survive through a lot before they really can't recover.

I agree you can save it (hard to see the real damage just going off the look of the leaves in comparison to the others) but by the time she has recovered to decent shape, the other plants could probably be flowering. Might throw things off putting her back with the others.
But I am all for saving the plant. Maybe recover it and put it somewhere else..

Me myself i only kill a plant when there really is no turning back or if it has balls
Can't have another guy fooling around with my girls haha. Otherwise i always try to save it. It's always a good learning experience for future grows imho.

It’s more split it’s still attached but when I move her you can see there’s basically a whole in the stem, so iv pushed the soil right up supporting it ! Worth saving ?

Damn that's a lot of money for 6 seeds. All the more reasons to try and save her. You could get a small toothpick keep it next to the stem and put some tape around it and she will be supported nicely. Once you see she's growing healty again you can take of the tape so it wont hold her back once the stem really starts to thicken.

Always nice to keep a roll of medic tape around let's the wound breathe and stretches with the stem

So it’s best to just support it and leave it ?

It happend to me before where the stem was just held down bij the outer layer. Tied it down with the tips touching each other and tey recovered nicely. Like i said before do make sure to put a dome or something around it because she won't be able to feed herself normally the first few days while in recovery.
Fingers crossed indeed. Keep us updated on how's it going

Never thought about medical tape to be honest but i will make sure to have some lying around in the future in case i might need it.
Thanks for the tip

I cant say its the best. But it works the majority of the time kinda like if you break your leg. Give it a cast and crutch and send it a bill.

Ya. Medical tape is a good one if you need it. When I bust a branch, soft ties usually work fine to hold it together until it heals itself, but breathable tape is fine too.
