That had buds! YAHHHHHHH... Okay, I did scream. Was to lazy to get something to stand on so I tried to tip the plant down a bit, then it snapped! I'm going to try to root it. Maybe the buds will stay on? Poor plant! Poor me, LOL.....
I could just scream!!! Broke the top off a seedling
Sometimes it happens.....same here :-)
Ah Kristi . . will keep my fingers crosed for you. Hate when that happens. Wind broke the top of mine earlier this year, almost like starting over. No Y's yet . . very tall though.
Bad Kristi.....BAD kristi!!!!!LOL it will grow back.. :-)
:(
It'll grow back though :)
So sad, I know how it feels.
Gosh Kristi, that is too bad. I know after losing the tops out of six seedling, just how you feel.
:( been there---done that---said ugly words that i normally reserve for the grasshoppers only. wish a bandaid or duct tape would fix it for you. cheryl
My buds stay on when I put the branch in water. They bloom smaller but they open! Good luck. what a shame!
My kids snapped one of mine almost completely off, was only hanging by a thread. I stood it back in place and taped it to support it. Would you believe it completely grew back??? After about a month, I took the tape off and it is doing just fine. Strange!
duct tape...lol..........works for all!
good job Chele!
Hey, it was either try it or try rooting a cutting thinner than a pencil! LOL It worked so ha! :)
I'm great for snapping off my first flowers. I think I've done that 3 times now. I just can't leave em alone!
So I'm not alone? Makes me feel better, LOL.... Lesson learned. Not going to tug anymore plants down to my level! I never even thought about it snapping off. NEVER. Darn plant.
Badseed, I'll have to tell my husband that one. He uses duct tape for everything. He should write a book about the uses for duct tape, but I think it's already been done. lol
datdog, I had the top of a 7 ft. seedling break off after a bad storm. The large buds made an effort at opening - - but apparently there wasn't enough fluid intake at that point to completely open the buds. On the good side, the remaining plant put all of it's energy resources into a small sucker that I hadn't removed. Only 4 weeks later, the sucker has grown to almost the size of the original canopy and is covered in buds! Nat
That is some good news Nat! Thanks. I'm also liking the duct tape idea Chele!
Poor Kristi
Y'all are funny! LOL Actually, I just used plain old scotch tape. It was a small seedling. It's about three feet tall now and nice and bushy. Guess the tape did okay. :)
