My last grow I snapped the main top on some grape pie ×’s and that chic hermed on me ..smh…

I prefer electric tape myself. Mainly as a precaution against infection when I take a 5’ plant and crop that bitch in half.

will you leave the tape on, or remove it once she’s healed up

I just broke one yesterday. I used scotch tape. She’s looking great.

Painters tape has been my go to.
-
I thought about duct tape or electrical tape, but the painters tape was the first roll I came across. I think it would be the easiest of the three to remove later, after the healing.

Bingo!!!! Some common sense. Painters tape is made specifically for easy removal. I have only had to tape a couple times and want to remove the tape after the plant heals. Can’t imagine trying to remove electrical or duct tape.
I am into music and have a home studio. Gaff tape like the bands use to secure cables works good as well. It removes easier than electric or duct tape.

I don’t remove the tape.

I used micropore medical tape on mine and she was fine. She’d been literally hanging by a thread (of main stem outer layer), and I just taped her onto her original spot.

I have been going to wound care for a few weeks and have to dress the wound daily. They were treating my cutaneous lymphoma lesions and the one on my hip collapsed and turned into a mess. No desire to use more medical wound dressing tape on anything. Painters tape is like two bucks a roll and good medical tape that breathes gets expensive.

The ‘fixing’ a wounded, cracked, or broken stem with tape is pretty much the same as grafting. In theory, as long as the cambium layers have a good mating, healing should be no problem.

I have been fixing stems out in the yard since I got my first house in 1974. Just never applied it to cannabis until 2023. I do a lot of damage on my wife’s flowers with the weed whipper then try to hide it from her. 😂

I noticed the tape starting to tear slightly, and investigated. Looks nicely healed.
