LST accidentally turned into HST. snapped off the main branch

Hi,

I was trying to LST on my Blue Critical Autoflower and when i tried to bend the main stem it just snapped right off. I thought it would be more bendy. It's only just the first week of flower and there are some good branches so I'm obviously gonna keep growing it out and see what happens. I guess I have to be more careful with my plants in the future. I'm growing 2 other strains and they bent right over with no issues. She is stressed. I know you aren't supposed to top autos, and this is much more than topping.

Has this ever happened to you? Will this massively effect yields? I'm still hoping I can get a mediocre yield out of this with the energy getting putt into the side branches, but I've obviously stressed her out.

It happens to the best of us, next time you could try and tape it back up, yes they can sometimes re-attach themselves if not done too late.

Also, before bending you can roll/pinch the stem between your fingers first and it will soften up that same spot which will make it less likely to snap.
