Yeah, some of the lst I do is literally to keep the plant upright. Seems more of an issue in the new netpots vs the old waterfarm buckets but no need to get started on that discussion. But it IS something I have an issue with....especially the bigger the plant.

I had a HUGE stem split on the Church bush
Noticed it 4-5 days ago, not split through, but I pulled it back against the meain stem with a twisty, and the branch seems to still be growing, am I ok?

Every little thing gonna be alright in the end.
If it ain't alright, it's not the end.
Splint her split and give her support to take the strain off.
She will heal. They're quite good at that.

If not, "sacrificial limb" and time for the DETT
(Distant, Early, Taste Test!)

As to whether you are OK?
That's up to you.
I certainly think so.

I like to make a splint for it but it should be fine if you took care of it almost right after it happened. I've broken many a stem and they typically make it through. I even mended one that broke off completely before.

I agree....just splint it and make sure whatever you support it with doesnt strangle the growth as the plant grows larger.

Thats what I did...used twisties, its near the base of the gargantuan stalk, lol....SO maybe the branch will stay? Wont lose it?..........yipeeeeeeeeee

[Weedhound]

If it's "non fixable" you'll know pretty quick because it will wilt just as if you pulled a plant out of the ground. Most times if you can support it you're gold but once in awhile if you break it in a bad spot you'll lose it. But again.....you'll know right away.

[WhiskeyTango]

Should be good....Its been 2-3 days already.
And Im using the jiffy pellets, no choice. So good luck to me there. Got alot riding on em. about 15 clones, and my last 9 SNLxNH. So everyone cross your fingers.
