Help! Severe Wind Damage

[Lemonicer]

Hi Folks,
I just suffered cracked trunks (central stem) on 2 Lemon Ice plants that were 8-9 ft. They were fully flowering with clear trichomes on the buds, but not yet on the leaves. What should I do to save the branches above the cracked trunk (still attached)? Should I try to clone each main branch (use root hormone and plant them in the soil?
Please help!!

I'd try to build supports for the plants, bind the trunk, and see if it will heal itself. If I saw any sign of it starting to die I'd chop and build better supports next year. I'm new to marijuana, but spent years as a landscaper and that would be my advice for any shrub.

Duct tape is your best friend. Splint it and tape it.

yes, you can also use wire fencing ... just wrap the whole thing and pull the branches through.
