| Main stem snapped, help!
Hello I need reassurance. I got greenhouse fem church plant, nearly four weeks in veg. For the past week i've been training it under a screen. This morning whilst trying to move the top back under the screen i heard a crunch. I had a look and realised i'd snapped the top and it was hanging on by the skin. Where it was situated i couldn't bandage it. The break was about 2 to 3 nodes down from top of new growth, leaving her about six nodes from the bottom. I'm gonna try and attatch a pic so please tell me what you think, here's some questions, 1 I've read in forums that some people just leave it, some would make a clean cut just below the break and put rooting gel on cut. Whats best as there's no possibility of re attatchment? Have i inadvertently topped her below where i should of ( a bit too much growth from top). 2 What is the likleyhood of the plant being ok? And if so how long do you reckon it'll be before i can tell? Here's a photo, where it's snapped, the edge seems to be drying out and going brownish. I presume this is natural. Any help would be greatly recieved. 005.jpg |

I would suggest trying to splint it as much as possible. I've had some gnarly stem snaps and they usually pull through. You might even get some exposive growth coming from the break. I think your plant should be fine.
