Blurgh. Well, I tried to do a bit of LST on my plant... I guess I overestimated the stem and it broke, between the fourth and fifth node (out of like 8 or 9.. still in veg). :/ I tried propping it up overnight hoping that it would heal, but it didn't look like that was going to happen, so I lopped off the top, cut the bottom of the cutting at an angle and stuck it in some watered-down perlite (don't have any gel).
The stem was hollow, though.. I stuck it in the water/perlite as fast as I could after cutting it, but I heard hollow stems are bad news for trying to root stuff.
So... yeah. Am I screwed, or what? any other suggestions of what I should do with the top and/or what's left of the other part?
any thoughts, ideas, or words of sympathy would be appreciated. thanks
