Happyeccentric Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Omg I'm such a fool I couldn't have made a stupid mistake. So I took the advice on myltigro and read up on soils and put sizes and was putting my ww xxl into a 15 l pot as shes huge and sexy and it was all going swimmingly then stupid clumsy me snapped her almost in half. Anything I can do? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromedian Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Wow! You could try taping it back, but that looks beyond salvaging Sorry to see mate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do it immediately you have some sort of chance, but kind of thinking you're plant is halfway to heaven by now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weedouk420 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hi @Happyeccentric I can't speak from experience but I have seen plenty of widow xxl auto turn out to be monsters so although you have every right to kick yourself (we have all done it) Im confident she will bounce back.. I would say.. (and plz forgive me if ur not a lady ) she will bounce back with a woman's touch and tlc but I think your touch is the main culprit here haha But yeah she should bounce back Atb Weedo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbillybob Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) tape it together , or splint it, and give it 48hrs. if the leaves aren't all wilted, then crack on. if they are wilted, its fuct. Edited June 7, 2019 by badbillybob 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyeccentric Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Thank you all so so much for being so understanding and supportive. You have made me feel so much better and I have acted on all the advice. @Andromedian I know its been around ten hours now so don't hold much hope but I tried anyway.....it may not work but even there a 1% chance worth a bash. @weedouk420 I do have a womens touch and am also one of these very lucky people so it might help. Its dark now and I had a light in my greenhouse and a first aid kit so I found some microphone and did the job. I do have terrible empty nest syndrome so I'll mother and nurture that plant with all I got and it.....if it doesn't work it won't be lack of nurturing haha @badbillybob your words if encouragement cheered me up ans spurred me on to try so appreciated. Here she is in all her glory tapes back together again. I'm just taking a nice bit of home baking out the oven to my kid and son in law now to cheer me up 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper420 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 tape it,splint it and hope for the best. See what I mean about innadvertant topping. At least mine was just a grow tip. Tilt........ At least if the splint dont take you have some plant left. Get well soon little plant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyeccentric Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 I was meaning to read more on topping but thought I would get the hang of the growing bit first? What's the difference between this and topping? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper420 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) No difference. You just topped it a bit lower than one normaly would. Call it a big FIM if you like. Topping as the name suggest is just removing the growing tip to encourage sideways growth and reduce plant height somewhat It'll set the plant back a bit since the wound has to heal. But she'll probably bounce back. Lesson learnt. Watch what happens to the plant and use it to your advantage for future grows. Last season I had 2x suspected boys I removed from the greenhouse and just abandoned in another part of my area. I took a 6" top off of each (around 4' tall at time) and the plant structure dramatically improved with all the side branches fighting for dominance. Turned out a great shaped plants. Just a shame they were riddled with bugs. @Happyeccentric Edited June 8, 2019 by Kipper420 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference between this and topping? At TFZ a few years back, something topped one of our White widow auto's, and it grew about 20 heads.....turned into an impressive little fucker hope she gets better mate 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrum3 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Oh I didnt know you were running two threads @Happyeccentric I cant believe you've snapped your plant!! I would've cried if I had done that. If the surgery to stick it together doesnt work, you could always look at using it as a clone, like you would with any cutting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference between this and topping? You petty much topped it albeit by accident You've done the right thing by trying to salvage by adding the splint and tape. Was it a total snap or just a partial break? This will slow things down a little, if it does not look like it's on the mend in 7-10 day's then I would scrap the top and concentrate on the remaining plant Not a massive disaster and as others have said you still have the potential of a decent plant being produced Next time might be best getting into the bigger pots from a very small size. Less chance of snapping any branches It'll be fine All the best Mark.. Edited June 10, 2019 by Dinafem-Mark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyeccentric Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thanks @Dinafem-Mark you always know what to do to get the best out the plants. I will wait and see and feel a bit better now. I will try and get some pics up of what's happening in my cold frame as I have two wwxxl and a bubba kush in there they are still tiny but hoping for great things x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
