Just accidentally cracked/broken the top of the plant, what to do now?

[garnier]

Hi there,
plant is just over month old now - 31 days exactly...
Today I've broken the top bit quite badly.
My fault, didn't want to do that but sh*t happens...

what shall I do now?

I'm quite newbie so maybe I'm just panicking...
But as far as I know that any trimming/cutting will put plant into stress so ... ?>

Sometimes if it still has a part left hanging on you can put a small splint on it with some twist ties and they will grow back together after a week or so.

Try doing what Nammy said an Use a Splint and some tape .. You will be surprised.. or you will have a topped plant no biggie..

Hey Bretahrnek, I'm a newbie so don't have much experience tho I have done my fair bit of reading. I remember reading from a book, I'm pretty sure it was marijuana horticulture, if not it would have been the classic site, grow weed easy. Anyways I read that if any branch snaps you should immediately tape it up with some weak tape to keep the branch together as it was in the first place. The longer the branch is apart the worse it will be. If you give this a try id give it a quick Google to see what tapes best etc. Hope this helped.

You are not on your own there , I have do the same thing , not once but a number of times , as the other guys said , tape it up as there looks like enough is still holding on , if not cut it off , and all will be good .

I think it was cracked too much nothing left there maybe there was a chance but I doubt it...
Maybe i can get cutting out of it? Know it's not possible with autos.. Or possible?

I was wondering the same about trying to use it as a clone. There's some recent discussion on it here: https://www.autoflower.org/threads/can-you-clone-autos.49556/

...yup, try the tape trick--if there's enough conductive tissue there, she might heal up okay,.. don't bother cloning; technically you can, but remember the bio-clock is always running, and cloning does not reset it in auto's,.. those tissues know they're 31 days old, and there's no time now, especially in bloom, to make roots,...and expect any sort of decent harvest, if at all,...

Instead of putting tape on directly git one of those big slurp straws...the really fat ones...split it lengthwise cut to fit the length of branch and use like a cast.
