Broken main stem 30day autos

Hey I lst my 30day old autos last night(not for the 1st time). came back for a look today and noticed my wedding cheese cake autos main stem is snapped in half near the top it didn’t fully brake off it is slightly attached but was hanging down ,top and leaves after brake starting to wither,I must of tied it down too tight :confused: wondering should I just strap it up or should I throw it away ? Or what is the best option ? Any advice much appreciated Thanks @Kronic @sjk

Give it a shot but it may not take. At worst, you have topped your plant and you might end up with two main stems.
If you were growing a photo, this would be a non-event. You could just keep them in Veg phase until all heeled up.
Autos don’t have that luxury. But you look like you are still vegging or at early flower so you might get new stems.

@SlingShot thanks for the reply ye I was thinkin it might be a bit late in the cycle for her to be topped for an auto,would u worry about it turning hermy? ,would you give her a feed with nutes? currently using Ecothrive life cycle so I could give a top feed today , or a microbe tea ecothrive biosys? Cheers

We usually get in trouble by doing something we shouldn’t. Then we get in serious trouble because we do things we shouldn’t be doing to fix the things we got in doing what we shouldn’t have been doing the first time. Lol. It’s the story of my life.
If it’s going to hermy, it’s going to hermy. No use worrying. I’ve roughed up my Autos pretty bad but have never seen a hermy. Never.
You might want to bump the nutes a tad bit don’t go overboard.
These are weeds and weeds want to survive. It is amazing how well they recover. Let her grow, talk nice to her and see where you end up.
