Plant stems bent. Need Help

[BobWeed]

Smokin, they are doing much better, thanks. 1 of them sustained 2 tears in different spots of the stem and it's unable to stand up without splints on those spots. Most of the old pistols that had grown near the tear spots have died or are badly withered but above and below them seem to be ok. I wish I had a dang camera to take some pics...the leaves at those spots actually are pretty good so I'm thinking positive on a rejuvenation.
The other plants seem to be pretty good now and I've taken off most of the splints.

so far so good...for the most part.

Well, I spoke too soon..... I woke up this morning and had a problem.

One of the plants had one bad bend, which I put a splint on it right after it happened, waited 2 days and took it off after it seemed to hold itself up just fine. Well, this morning I walk down there to look at them and it was bent over again and this time the place where it bent looks bloated or something. Like all the plants first aid it's using to try and repair it all got bunched up a few millimeters above the injury and the place where it's actually injured is pretty weak. So, I've put a splint on there again but it's difficult because it's right where 2 good buds are growing and I'm rubbing up on them to get this splint in. Still, the buds seem ok for the most part but I'm sure my plants are just really pissy and focusing all their energy on fixing the injuries and not creating buds.

I need to get a camera..I really, really do.

the bloating is totally normal,it's the plant's attempt at reinforcing the broken section.if your branch hasnt died yet,its gonna be fine

wow pass that, that looks like it was doing pretty fuckin nice for outdoor grow Nice man

This happens to us all, usually within a week the plant has repaired the damage and growth resumes as normal. Until then, the unbent branches will develop faster than they would have, so while you may need another week to fully flower you may get some nicer buds on the unbent branches.

Thanks, Mike. After reading everyone's comments I feel better about things. I'm still paranoid but not nearly as much. I am noticing the unbent branches developing quicker but it appears the stretch part of the flowering is over with for the most part. It will be 4 weeks into it tomorrow and I haven't had any real bud growth in the areas above the injuries in a week. I'm sure it will perk up like you said.

I have good news and bad news.

Good news is, the buds are growing like wildfire now. They really took off over the past 24 hours. Hmmm..I started molasses a few days ago.
The crystals are growing very heavy and I'm just giddy over it.

bad news...3 of the 4 plants that I have are hermies! I've left my plants alone for most of the week since they all got injured but a little while ago I took them out and inspected them and I noticed some powder on a leaf, got suspicious, and found some opened balls. What a disappointment it is. There's no way the hermieness was from the stress of repairing themselves, it can't happen that fast....at least I don't think.
It's a lost cause to save all of the flowers from pollinating at this point, but I removed a bunch and always had some thick duct tape with sticky side up, underneath the place I was cutting (I have these really tiny pair of scissors I got from a pack of buttons and string for clothes repair that are perfect). Those little boogers hold a ton of pollen. Enough were already opened so I know sections got pollinated. You know, I thought some of the early flowers looked like balls but they had pistils growing out of them so I wasn't positive. I'm pretty sure the 3 seeds for these plants that I got in a bag of some weed that resembled northern lights all came from a plant that was hermie. The plant that isn't a hermie came from another bag. I'm trying to keep the non-hermie plant as separate from the others that I can without compromising the light on it so I'll just wait and see what happens.
