The day after my biggest plant started showing her preflowers, I had them sitting on the floor while I rearranged my lighting, and my 115 lbs black lab"Weezer" smacked it with his tail, breaking it in half. Is there anything I can do?

Make a split for it with a tomato post
I think he meant splint, but im guessing you worked that out lol.
Yeah, make a splint, and maybe try taping the stem back together. It might heal, but its gunner slow your flowering right down cos its gotta concentrate on healing itself. Thats a bummer man, hope all goes well and you end up with some bud.
how long is too long, and will the lower half still produce?
The same thing happened to me. I put nails in the walls and had my grow partner hold up the snapped portion while I tied pieces of floss from the top of the stalk to the walls. I tied it in 3 directions for full support. The injury healed suprisingly fast, and all parts of the plant are still producing.
Oh, and I suggest keeping the dog out of the grow room. Other than snapping plants in half, they can introduce all kinds of nasty bugs to your plants.
Good luck friend.
as long as you tape it back together asap.. it will be ok..
and yes a SPLINT.. duct tape
you are golden
and
slap
the WEEZ!!
: )
it looks downright poor right now, I dont think I can save the top 8" or so. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.
What looks poor about it? Have you supported it back up?
:( The top 8 inches are most imporant!
So what is the status.
Man my uncle had a black lab and they have the strongest tails ever. When I would come in he would wag that thing in the kitchen and shake the whole house when it would hit the cabinets. I am sure your dog feels bad about it I would give him some extra love so your dog knows your not mad.
yea, he feels terrible, he likes smoke as much as the next guy. The leaves are all flat and drooping but still green as hell. Im having trouble keeping the two parts together. Its broke it two pieces, not just snaped.
