broken stem, top leaves are drooping and dying
Make the best of it, hon. Since the top is already wilting, I'd cut it off. It's too late to split it. Any branches below the cut will try to be "top bud". In other words you should get two main colas, maybe three, possibly four! You might say you have accidentally topped your plant.
Now about that top. After you cut it off, cut off the bottom inch or so to remove damaged tissue and stick it in water like it was a bouquet. Then cut all the leaves back to one 1 inch blade or if too damaged just cut them off. If you are lucky, the top will rehydrate. Then you need to read up on cloning! Your disaster could be turned into a golden opportunity! :thumbsup: Are you in veg or in bud? I find it harder to clone the further into budding the plant is. But don't let that stop you. Even if one clone lives, it gives you a head start in your next grow!
Well, are you still standing there? Get busy!- Granny:hippy:
