Advise needed , i broke a branch
Well as the topic says, today i was out tieing down my plants i tie them down every couple of days o keep them nice and low i hadnt done this for about aweek tho so the stem was nice and fat and i had to pull it down quit abit while doing this on the second plant i snapped the branch, now iv heard if you do this its good to tape it back into place and it should heal, i used acouple of bandaids to hold the branch back in place, should this heal and how long will should i leave the band aids on untill i take the off? the branch wasnt snapd completly off just about 3/4 thru the branch allso i had it taped up with in 2minutes of snapping the branch so hopefully that helps

Prolly be good to go in 3 - 7 days, you can use a piece of straw, silice in down the center, or just tie it standing upright.

Hmm i might try to find a straw that will cover it but its a pretty fat stem and close to a set of branchs so it might not go on properly infact it was so close to a new node i had to tape around the new set of leafs that had just started to come thru

Keep it taped up and propped in position and it should heal ... they are pretty resiliant plants that way. You could spread a little root toner on the wound before you tape it, but it should heal either way. Hopefully your not too far into flowering
