Accidental Topping. Help! (pics)

Just another Noob here. *1st Grow*

Okay, so I was trying to train my plant to grow sideways.. but I didn't like the way it was looking. So I untied it and bended it back in forth (low force) to try and straighten it out again.. I notice the top of the plant was curled upwards so I tried to bend that also and it snapped. As you can see in the pictures I pointed it out where it snapped (tiny line). It pretty much snapped in half but was still hanging on with a little skin.. So i left the broken stem on thinking it might heal itself??? As of right now the two stem are stuck together again but the leaves are dead like. What to do?
A little info on her:
beginning 4th week in Veg.
Soil grow
Cfl lights
considering her to be the mother plant.

Well i just snipped it.. Anybody know if a new top will grow back?

that can still heal...if you do it right get a stick and a wire then wrap wounded area with a cloth or something that will not expose the cut area, but then you can just cut it out straight and youd get new shoots. no worries there

yes it def will.

No, a new top will not grow back.

The next 2 lower nodes will take over as the plant and become dominant. They will grow up and the plant will have 2 main colas.

thanks guys. I still feel terrible lol. I guess i'll have to wait and see what she will do in a few days.. I sure hope new shoots will grow..
