Okay soo I'm freaking the frig out... I asked my brother in law to water my plants while I was at the lake... come home to 3 of my biggest colas snapped and bent over at a fuxking 45 degree angle.... I am fuming right now......are they fucked ??? I tied them up with string...but it looks like they suffered a gruesome super cropping or something.
What should I do...

If they are still attached prop them up and support them with stakes and ties. They will heal and likely make bigger flowers of there is time.

Does your brother hate you? Or does he think he was helping?

Okay turns out it was only two .. but about six of them had literally gone horizontal it looked worse than it was at first hahaha. They must have really gotten heavier over the past couple days. he said he tried to rotate the pot to water it for some reason and she just came unglued in all directions. I didint have any stakes or bamboo or anything and the hydro store was closed :( I tied them to the roof with some string... they are still attached. I hope the branches survive! Check out this hack job.. puppet master over here..

He thought he was helping hahah... and to be fair I asked him to water them lol.. just didint expect him to rotate the damn plant when it was clearly flimsy .. this particular one is not holding itself together as well as the other two Haha, it stretched alot more.. perhaps its because it was directly under the 3000k board. And the others were.more under the 4000k. That Could also be very far off base Haha... perhaps just the pheno.. but it is like a foot taller than the others .

Take some tape and hold the stem so you can see they are touching and connected and tape them and they will repair themselves and at that spot it will be stronger that the original limbs. Sort of like a weld being stronger than the surrounding metal.

I just threw some electrical tape on there.. made sure they were touching and taped it up firmly . They're also being held up by string. Hoping they bounce back no problem and I see no ill effect . Three weeks left at most I think. And yes I know all about welds and their tensile strength in comparison to the base metal , you must be a welder too eh Haha? Cheers bro, thanks for the reassurance.

Also note my gruesome super cropping scar underneath..
