Hey guys. Got a slight problem. My outdoor blueberry auto plants ate 11 days old and looking great. Nice green leafs and rapid growth. Butttt...... after seeing the stem was a little to long and weak from lack of sunlight from the beginning of my grow I decided to top my soil and water. When I can back hours later one fell over at a 90 degree clean angle. Didn’t break or anything to serious I don’t think. You can see some damage... So I grabbed a couple bamboo sticks and propped her up. She seems ok now... My question is do you guys think she will make it or is this a lost cause... ??? I appreciate any feedback!!! Thanks

Post a picture please so everyone can help you more. As long as it didn’t get cut or anything serious I think it will recover it might effect your yeild Aswell since it’s a autoflower. That’s just assuming without a pic
It should be fine, but I usuallypile dirt up around the stem, which helps to stabilize it as it heals. The one thing you DON'T want to do is to move it much until it toughens up a little. If you keep moving it, chances are it will cause more damage and kill the sprout. FWIW, since it is so small, if it falls over again and you are afraid to move it, let it grow bent over, and after it grows up a little you can cover over the stem where it lays on top of your soil. Roots will grow out of it quickly and by flowering time, you won't know it was ever there.
If it was broken or too badly damaged, I would think you would see wilting very quickly. I think he was lucky and nothing got damaged too badly. Time will tell.
j/k I bend mine all the time in veg and if one hard snaps ya ( use some tape and make a band aid for some temp guard till it’s healed )
Low stress training = bending/forcing the plant down
High stress training = breaking branches /bend the plant to suppression ( it’s funny on the results on same pheno’s if they are strong ones )
