Hi there. First of all, welcome to MP. It's good to have you here. This is a great place to learn/share your knowledge of growing mj like a pro. It's also filled with members that are more than willing to help you out. I hope to see you around the forums sometime in the future.

First, are they in dirt or hydro? What kind of lighting do you have? Four months of veg is a LOOOONNNGGGG time. How big is the plant? With 4 months of veg, the plant must be HUGE! Did it break completely off or is it still hanging on? Do you have any pictures? I would say just leave it alone and it will either survive or die. If it dies, more tops will sprout in a week or two to replace it. Search around on the search engine provided at this site for topping. Hope this helps. Keep us posted. Take care and be safe.

You can cut up to half your plant off if u had too. So if u have to cut a foot off your plant, your plant will still survive. Remember that your plant will double and even triple in size when flowering, so lets hope u planned for that. She could be 9' tall after it is all said and done. And stop paniccing, it's not like it's your first born or anything!

4 MONTHS VEG!!! That plant must be huge,lol. I would start flowering TODAY.

Also, im not sure about tape. I ussaly use fishing wire and prop the plant back into its upright position by tying it to something nearby.

IMO, I would stay away from adhesive tape to hold your plants together. My advice would be to use cloth strips sheered from old bed sheets. This will support the branches and still allow growth. Find that happy medium of not to tight not to loose. :watchplant:----keep growing

i agree, get rid of damaged part with clean cuts and let it recover. after 4mo of veg its gotta be big enough to take some chopin. JMO
