Went real quick and took a peek.not much expectation,there are a few branches the leaves are up and perky.the others still wilted but not deathly.

Branches that big will most likely die and if they do live they will be stunted for a month or longer. Next time something breaks leave it attached if not broke 100% then it will survive and finish
Oh I tried to tie back together,and it fell and made the breaks worse.two were only hanging by a little skin to start with. I cut everything down to about two feet.if it works good,if not I tried.that's all I can do.

I had a similar thing happen to a plant that I had done Uncle Bens topping for 4 main colas to. It split right down the middle about 2 inches. Got some duct tape and taped her back up real tight and she is loving life.

last year while tryin to cut down the height with some bending i broke the main stem of a plant..(on ckush). critical was really bad, i mean almost broke off completely..and she was a real beauty (happenin outdoors) so yeah, i tried to put it back in place somehow but had no duct tape or shit like that...so i broke a branch, the 1st lil one that was meant to be broken anyways + some large fan leaves(all healthy) and i got the main stem straight up put the fan leaves around the exposed tissue, wrapped it all around as good as i could n than tied it up with the lil branch so it dont get blown away by wind.. ahyeah..n i broke the other lil branch n some branch from a tree that was around, stuck the branch into the soil parallel to the plant(vertically) n tied the broken main stem to the branch so it can stay up more..upworthy? :)) ..all worked out perfectly..of course there was a 2 week stun n all that..but it all lived n fruit :)..n this was near flowering also, i guess i should give a thumbs up to the breeder...barney's ..rubble

and it dint turn out a hermie !!!

Happened to me this year also my black on black and others were root bound. They were 2 weeks into flowering. I transplanted at night and didn't realize I broke the main stem split. Wrapped it up and she is still here .

Mine has so much tape around her you'd think she was wearing a skirt.

I was bending the shit out of her before she went snap.
