Urgent! Flowering 6 weeks and plant split down the center of the main stem.

My plant which is no special strain, (bag seed) has been flowering for 6 weeks and was looking fantastic until a few days ago. I accidentally over watered while the plant was in it's final cycle of GH Flora, Micro, Bloom and it got a bad case of nute burn. The two main branches must have been too heavy for the sick plant and it split directly down the center. I was actually in the middle of flushing the pot to help clear the nute buildup when I noticed the split. I zip tied it back together and now the split is nice and secure. However, I'm unaware of how long the split has been there. I have been scoping out the trichomes for days and very few are clear, most are cloudy and very few are amber. So my question is: Do I leave it zip tied and see if she recovers and try to squeeze another week out of her or do I cut my losses and harvest now? More details about the grow below.

I would have taped it instead of zip tie, so it was more like a bandaid than a turnikit.

I'm not sure what you should do though. Ask Shiva to make help it through.

It's not in a spot where it's feasible to tape. It was zip it or clip it at that point.

I'm unaware of what that means. Can you please explain?
Try to give it anything it would need to get better. "Offer" it things. Dry ice, a yeast bubbles, new nutes, molasses, more light, a new fan, anything. Let it know you want it to get better, support it. "Ask" it to live (with those actions). And maybe Shiva will here you.

I posted in your other thread, but judging by the trichomes your plant isn't far from harvest. I would keep flushing and just harvest it normally when the trichs are the color you want them.
