    Default Snapped branch/stem/stalk in flower help

    Ok so one of my lights came crashing down tonite while i was in the tent sorting stuff out and its managed to land on one of my plants its nearly cut two main colas off down the stem they are literally hanging by the thinnest thread of stalk I have use cable ties to tie them as close as i can back to the stem and used string to tie them Abit more to keep them stable as to not tip over and fully snap off!
    My question is have i lost these two now? I am in full flower with probably about 3 weeks left maybe abit longer, will these recover or as they were hanging by a tiny thread will they now die has anybody else had this problem that could shed some light On it? a real bummer man buy hey accidents happen!

    Hard to say, just watch them. If they start to dry up, then cut them off. You'll know pretty quickly. They may wilt a bit and come back if they still have a vascular supply.

    Thanks for the quick reply they how long roughly will i start to see? A few days maybe? Hope they recover but if not oh well will it affect my yield on the other bud spots do you think due to major stress?

    I've had my hps swinging through the canopy like tarzan while I screamed like Jane just for pulling the wrong cord
    And the bulb melted all it touched

    When you say colas how long far along in flower?, strap it with gaffer tape usually works

    I'd hold the branch still with tape rather than wire as wire has a tendency to move about, suppose only time will tell if nutrients can still find its way through to the flowers, might look a bit sick for a few days but plant can surprise you by bouncing back
