Broken main stem during early flower - autoflower

I was reposition one of the ties on my main stem because it slid down a bit, and accidentally caused a small break in my main cola stem. I immediately taped it up. It is a fairly small break, and before I taped it the stem actually stood up the same way it does when supported with tape. When I realized what happened and i let go of the stem, it actually stood straight up on its own - it didn’t hang down or droop or anything. The plant is 35 days old and went into flower and started stretching just 2 days ago. Will it heal? If yes, will it have much of an effect on my yield? I’m really worried that it will effect the growth and yield. Pic below.

Be grateful this happened when it did, and not a month from now. It'll heal quite quickly (pretty much the same amount of time to heal a supercrop-gone-wrong), but this'll happen in stretch period, and not when the plant is putting its energy into flower creation. It will slow growth down slightly so you might not get the stretch you normally would, but everything will be fine.

Don't panic and go mucking with the break or tape. Leave it be and it'll heal on its own.

No worries man. You just did your first supercropping, but by accident. You can actually get bigger yields.

Speak beat me to it.

Awesome, that’s a relief! It appears to still be growing, just a little bit more slowly (granted it’s only been 40 hours so lol). Just out of curiosity, roughly how long will it take to heal and for growth to pick back up at a normal rate again? Thanks.
