Im a fair way into flowering and one of my biggest flowering plants leaned over and it snapped the stalk. Its becouse of the increas weight from the buds, but will this plant die now? the stem is still fully attached but has a crease in it and the cola cant stand up on its own now so i criss crossed some string around the whole area to support it and the other plants that are leaning also. I think i need a better fan. I mean the whole point of having a fan blow on em all the time is to strenghten the structure of the plant so this kind of shit doesnt happen right?
This blows

As long as you can support it, the plant will be ok. taking some of the weight off the stalk will help greatly.

Cannabis is an amazingly resiliant plant, A few years back i had a couple 4 stemed durbans split down the middle leaving each plant with only about a quarter of the stem intact and somhow they kept growing as if nothing happened and seeing that each stem was about 6 feet high i found myself with a 12 foot diameter beast with masses of bud sites. It actually worked so well that i have considered breaking some of my other plants to see if the respond as well (sort of like an extreme for of tieing down). Your plant should be just fine.

That's kinda what supercropping is.

It'll live, try to give it some support from above if possible.
Some string, maybe some bungee cords, anything you can find to pull it up. It should make it the rest of the way.

Thanks everyone, I was pretty worried about it. This thing is going to be a monster, probally bigger than a 2 liter of coke. I cant wait!

Thanks again,
