Stem snapped

Discussion in 'Sick Plants and Problems' started by SLUSHIE, Jan 19, 2010.

  1. Fuck. So my initial grow isn't going very well. One of my plants died because it didn't get watered correctly while i was away, and just now while moving my plants I broke my other one in half.

    I was using a heavy shoebox as a weight to old my light still while i looked for a better way to secure it. the box fell and broke the stem right in half and look some nice branches with it as well.

    I tried to mend it a little with some string and tape.

    It hasn't even been an hour since it happened, but already pretty much every branch above the snap is wilting.

    What should i do?

  2. tape is a good idea. All you can do is wait... i'd bet she comes back.
     
  3. I cracked the main stem on a plant half way down when it was 3 ft tall and an entire new branch for a cola grew out of it. Maybe it wasn't this bad though =\
     
  4. Just like a broken Bone...

    remember this..R.I.C.E.

    Rest.... take a nap, smoke a bowl, it will be fine in time
    Ice .... pour yourself a strong drink
    Compression ....make a splint for it, till it heals. Use a popsicle stick & string
    Elevation...... use string to support it from the ceiling, keep the branch cloe to the light.
     
  5. Best way is masking tape and to spray it every 8 hours or as often as you can
