Hi all. First time poster and first time grower looking for advice.
I have two outdoor plants that are a week or two away from harvest. Forecast called for first frost of the season last night, so I covered the plants with a light tarp. I used some stakes to tent the tarp but when I came out this morning, it was no longer tented. I'm guessing some wind moved it around. Very upset to find the top cola of each plant had been bent over and snapped under the tarp. They are both hanging there, not off, but dangling. Unfortunately had no time to do anything about it right away, had to go out of town for the day. So, tomorrow (after work) it will be more than 24 hrs with the dangling colas.
What can I do? I read some pages on sites that suggested I could possibly fix them by wrapping the damaged part of the stem, but most of those situations were much earlier in plant's lifecycle, not close to harvest. I haven't scoped the trichomes in few days but last time it was all clear trichs with some mushroom heads.
Any and all help is appreciated.
