As Greenvein said it is worth trying to save.

Yup used some aloe and wrapped in plastic wrap and taped with medical and duct tape. Now just pray that it stays alive

Like I mentioned last break, that branch needs support from below. A 1 by or 2 by 4 with a curve cut in the end wedged between the ground and halfway up the branch is your best hope. Might want to do all your lower branches as a preventative measure.

Check out what @BeezLuiz did with his:

Deff need to do that cant take any more potential breaks. I understand what you meant now shed i thought it needed to take them little higher up but i was understand now will be doing that this evening.

Thats comes with not supporting it like that earlier.

That makes alot sense my stoned self thought u meant having a 2 by 2 bent on the angle of the branch.

How would you suggest cutting the curve into the peice of 2 by 2 if you got any suggestions

Had to give it the full triage. Thats what i get fully supporting it though. We live and we learn

Morning fellow 420ers spent all evening last night doing some more triage making sure didnt miss any breaks found one small one off one of the main stem breaks and taped it up.

The broken branches looked little rough last night and woke up to 5 degrees this morning so hard to tell. Supported all the lower branches to be safe for the future.

Excellent work, and brrrr!

V will give more support but both styles will do the job well

Thanks for the pics. I will be making some for my sour diesel plants I used poles on the outside of the pots and these kind inside the pot. I hope they work for me; I have never had to make supports before.
