My heart is broken even though it’s a small Chronic Budding. I broke the too main Colas off the main stalk at the base of the V. I repaired it with tape, and a zip tie. What is the percentage of zylem& phloem that can be broken, and it will stay alive. I will send a pic, so you can see exactly where the break occurred. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, so I can put it to rest in my mind

Can a ziptie limit circulation?

They usually heal up. Try some aloe vera or honey on the wound.

Thanks, dbrn32, Honey application applied at the fracture line can help bring her back possibly. Does it attract any pests, or is it sunch a miniscule amount it’s ok. I love this site because when a problem arises there is always someone to give advice. I normally would not sweat it, yet it’s such a small plant I hate to loose the two main colas.thanks again

basementstealth, I taped at crack very tightly, but I ziptied upwards the break, and I didn’t lock it on anything. It’s a sliding sling adjustable as needed, and it’s a secondary measure if the tape fails it will not fully collapse again. I thank you for taking the time to help me with another mishap on my behalf. Have a good Evening

You don’t need a lot of honey. If what you apply attracts bugs they were probably bound to get in anyway.

dbrn32, I concur with your train of thought, and I was intending on coating the break lightly had you not responded. Thanks again

She’ll bounce back, don’t be surprised if the branches grow over, zip ties, tape…

Olddog2270, All of your time to write me, and your feedback have helped me relax. Relax is an understatement because I was depressed the little plant would loose the two largest Colas. Thanks again

Olddog2270, You are correct about the growth around ziptied left unattended over time it can grow around. I had it happen, and it was embedded deeply. I left it alone, yet I was concerned it would inhibit the growth. She turned out to be a beautiful Durban Poison Female, and the buds were beautiful. I wasn’t big on the pine taste, but it did feel like drinking a cup of coffee after burning. In addition, my ability to focus was enhanced. I will not grow it again, but it’s a cool plant. Sorry I went off on a tangent. Greatly appreciated

Dman1969, what you messaged is the coolest message I have received since I started on this site. It was sincere by the math of the words you used. Logic as you already know is mathematical in all languages. I greatly appreciate your assurance, and I hope you drop by my grow journal whenever you get extra time. Feedback is greatly appreciated, and thanks again.

May you sleep well my friend. Until next time
I broke a branch at a topping site and duct taped her up. One week later she was healed up and I removed the tape. I stuck the duct tape to itself so no adhesive touched the plant. They can be quite resilient at times.
