      So I fucked up and kinda broke this branch pretty bad and it’s looking pretty sad. This happened yesterday. Do you think I should just chop it off or give do you think it will come back if I give it a chance?

      • I would give it a day or so to see if atrophies anymore or not. I’ve split a couple pretty bad and just kind of hoped for the best. They will surprise you. Especially if it was healthy when it happened.

        • Most plants can repair a broken branch if the wound is sealed quickly. The leaves will not wilt if repair is done immediately. If the branch is broken long enough for the leaves to wilt, it’s all but over.

          • I’ll be curious to see what you report back. Personally, I don’t tape branches, but I will use garden string to prop the broken branch. My thinking (bro-science) is that I want the plant to either get over it, or get rid of it…but do so QUICKLY. I grow mostly autos, but even photos you got to dance…don’t trip up, just tango on!

          • Usually they come back and they come back three times as strong as the rest of the plant

            • It will prob come back. The normally just use twine to keep the branch up while it heals
