Just made an LST blunder. A stem couldnt support the angle/weight I was aiming for and it snapped a few minutes after I walked away having set it up. I thought I heard something but with all the commotion in my room I didnt register it for a few minutes. I'm 8 days into flowering, but with no visible anything, but I know my plant is stressed to the max at this point.
Should I carry on flowering in 12/12 or move it into 18/6?? I dont know what to do. Ideally I would like to continue my 12/12 cycle and let her heal herself. I think flowering will take much longer if she heals herself. I have another plant in flowering with this one at the same start time.
I've wire-taped the stem as best as I could. The snap was pretty bad:
Heres the snap (sorry for the orientation, I thought I had that fixed before uploading)
And heres the tape seal. I've given the broken branch some lean support with another branch using a curtain clip.
Any suggestions with regards to flowering? I've been in veg for a good 3 months (custom soil grow) and I just finally got these babies into flowering and am a bit bummed if I have to move back into veg for the damaged one.
My backup option was to chop off that part of theh plant below the break, and turn that stem into a clone.
