Hi everyone, thanks for looking at my thread, i really need some good advice.

I have two female plants they are 3 weeks into flowering. Untill this morning they both looked amazing, really good buds growing from them, anyways they are under a hps light and it dropped from the ceiling sraight on toop of both plants!!, i was lucky as i was just a few steps from it when it happend so i managed to lift the lighy quite quickly, but the damage is that i have 5 branches that totally snapped off, there is quite alot of buds on each brance.
but one branch has not totally snapped off but its got a tiny slit on it, so do you think it might be ok?

But what i really need to know is what is the best thing to do with snapped ones?
Ovbiously i would like to use them as clones but is that possible with them already into flowering? and if i do, do i put them back into veg or do i just clone them and keep flowering with there mothers.

Any advice would be most appreciated people honest.

Im so so gutted my girls just dont look the same anymore, but im confident they will pull through, im just glad it was so eairly into flowering.

Take Care.

You can clone a flowering plant but it takes longer to force it back into veg.
Any branches that are still attached just carefully use some soft string and tie them up. Bubble gum around the injured part works good too.lol

or you can use tape or anything else that will hold it. just make sure to check back every couple of days so the chosen repair medium doesn't start to cut into the stem of your plant.

the broken branches should clone fine like KW420 said. feed them some veg nutes and put them back into at least 18/6 lighting.

Nice one peeps, i have done what you have said, with everythin, and the bubble gum and tape is working well, but the clones aint looking too good, there really starting to droop and look unwell.

Any ideas

Anyways thanks again, top people!

what type of light are the clones under? are they under a dome? what's the humidity?
