fuzzotony is right on-make a nice brace-if it wasnt a clean break and only snapped it will be fine chances are. if anything the plant will bush out and the injury will get a nice knob on it. it can make it bro-you would be suprised

I usaly take resin from bud and smear it on the break, take fishing line and attach it to the ceiling to take the weight off the stem. no wories if it is too bad half ur plant may die but the other half will live strong. I have pitbull that eats fan leaves and trample plant from time to time. usaly all survive with proper care.

had one stem bend over completely almost clean. bandaged it up and grew like crazy-turned out to be a male. one thing you an do is foiliar feed the leaves above the snap so they can still get there nutes until the stem heals.

just keep doing what you were doing before with the nutes-if anyting tune it back a bit. you could add some silicone for help with tissue repair. your best bet was rooting hormone around the wound but pob too late for that. look up 'air layering'

yeah too late for that...i gave it a shot of 1/3 strength P right around the roots...i hadnt given it that shit in a while, and its good for root and stem growth...and that diluted shouldnt hurt it...but then again if its gonna be bad neway whatever...yeah...thats all imma do then imma water it normally in a couple days...

she could be alright even if you did a bad job damaging it. just look out in the future for male flowers if it survives due to the stress. 5-7 node
