i was bending the tops of my plants almost like supercropping, and one of the top stems snapped, it didnt come off all the way but i can see that it did crack all the way thur.

my question is weither or not i should pull it the rest of the way off or if i should let the plant do what its going to do?

If you've snapped something off, you'll probably be fine. It does happen from time to time.

Most of the plants are a bit more resilient than they look.

Watch it and see how it's working. If it looks to be dying, get rid of the dying part. And that's all you can do anyway.

the plant's going to do what they're going to do, and you really can't control everything....

ok i snapped another stem on my other plant, this time it is the main stem, i was bending it down and it just liked poped, it broke more than the other stem did, i took some dental floss and kinda tied up the stem to support it..

i used the dental floss to bend the stem back like basiclly putting it back together, there is still like half of the stem connected will it be ok and heal itself like the other did???

wrap guaze or something on the plant b4 you put the tape on, then put the tape over the gauze. after it heals the tape needs to come off and its alot easier this way, it would kinda suck it finally getting healed and breaking it again trying to take the tape off. lol. your plant will be perfectly fine, youd be amazed what mj plants can survive and recover stronger than ever.

I split one of my plants in half by trying to crop it. Stem broke and I freaked out. I then make a turnicet so-to-speak and within a week it fixed itself. Plants are one hell of a species.

I've snapped a few branches half way through plenty of times and it seems to make it grow even quicker. The plant quickly seals its self and redirects fluids. I've been supercropping like mad for the last few weeks, made some "mistakes" and its still going great.

thanks, and so far they look like they are doing fine, ok i got another thing, i jst took my plants out of their smaller container and into a biger one, i filled the bigger container, then cut off the plastic pot from the plants, the dirt stayed in a solid square form, then i set it into the new pot, and then filled the egdes until the dirt was all even, i am wondering if this is going to put the plant into some sort of shock or something, or if maybe i will see slower grow for a week or too as the roots develop and strech into the new dirt.

yes it may grow slow for a week as it works on getting rooted.but if you put it into the same soil it should not get any shock.

if you have some space between your dirt and the fist set of branches go ahead and add some more soil to it to take up some of the gap..this will be the stuff that gets dry fast and never gets roots anyway.that will give your plant the extra inch or 2 for roots.

ok thank you, and i dont think i hurt the root ball, the plants were in small plastic containers, and i cut the out side of that and kinda slid it out from under the soil so it stay pretty much a soild peice of soil, then i set it into the new soil and filled the sides, so hopefully i didnt touch the root ball,

Cannabis can survive almost anything. Even after doing it 2 or 3 times before, I still got worried when I over-supercropped a main stem the other day but the fucker has already fixed itself. It was snapped so badly that it was hanging on by a fiber....and now stands without any support at all.

I have a pumpkin growing on my porch which has been whipped to shit by some strong winds the last few days. It has several tears in its main stem and is not suffering at all visibly. Plants are fucking amazing

for sure thanks, so far the plants are looking good, one of the ones i ranplanted is looking a little droopy, well the first two lower sets of leaves, i am thinking this is a sign of needing water?
