Blurgh. Well, I tried to do a bit of LST on my plant... I guess I overestimated the stem and it broke, between the fourth and fifth node (out of like 8 or 9.. still in veg). :/ I tried propping it up overnight hoping that it would heal, but it didn't look like that was going to happen, so I lopped off the top, cut the bottom of the cutting at an angle and stuck it in some watered-down perlite (don't have any gel).

The stem was hollow, though.. I stuck it in the water/perlite as fast as I could after cutting it, but I heard hollow stems are bad news for trying to root stuff.
So... yeah. Am I screwed, or what? any other suggestions of what I should do with the top and/or what's left of the other part?

any thoughts, ideas, or words of sympathy would be appreciated. thanks

If the stem was hollow an air bubble is up there for sure with no gel I don't think it will ever root.

Aw, that's a drag. I guess I'll keep it moist and hope for a miracle, at least I have an idea of what to expect tho.

Anything I should do to help the rest of the plant? kinda worried 'cause the stem there is hollow too.

thanks for the reply u.g.u
