    use electrical tape a tape a splint to the stem for a week or so

    no worries

    but do i straighten him up to his starting position, or i leave him as it is, and just add the tape???
    or do i put him in a way that it wont be forced anymore either by weight or string??
    thanks a lot
    btw he is on flowering, this is bad right??
    do i add sugar to the water in order for it to fix faster?

    indeed listen to gg

    i actually split my main stem in ½ during my grow while LST'ing and i used a string to tie it together and it grew back... electrical tape would have worked fine too just didnt think of it...

    as gg said dont sweat it. :)

    from what I see in the pic the stem only bent or kinked, not actually split or severed,...
    you may aswell bend it to lLST position

    I had the same exact thing happen. I was LST her and the stem just kind of indented and flopped over. so I put my plant upright and made it a cast with lots of tape, so it would hold it upright and then a week or so later, i took it off and that area was all swollen, which is a good thing.

    This picture is from today. It was about 8 weeks since it happend

    thanks for the help guys, i decided to straighten her up a bit, she was bend, not broken, my english was not good.
    so she is still bend lol...and it doesnt seem to be getting better...but it doesnt seem to be getting worse neither, she is starting to flower...normaly...
    so what do you think?wasnt it suppose to have any reaction to beeing bent in the main stem??:s
