like i said tadaa it wasnt my intent to snap the plant in half, but i wrote what i wrote so when someone does bend the plant and they hear a snap they wouldnt freak out. jusst look at the picture in post # 6 and thats the way to do it , but if you do hear a snap tape it and continue with your grow. an OSG ( old school grower ) told me that and i didnt question that person about it and it turned out excellent.
