Worried about my girl

My outdoor grow is closing in to the finish line, and as of last week I have a pretty big problem :( .
As the plants were growing I have tied them down to one side (for stealth reasons).
The problem is that the knot I tied has become to tight for the main stalk to grow big and strong, so as time went by the plant "cut" itself into the wire, so one day I came to see that the main stalk had broken at the point where it was tied (it snapped under its own weight), it snapped but it didnt broke entirely, there was still some stalk matter holding together.
I used splints to tie the main stalk back and secured the plants weight with a Y shape support underneath the main stalk, but thats about all I can do.
The plant didnt seem to die , It went on living and looked good till today.
Today I saw that most leaves were droopy, almost on all branches with the exception of one, on this branch everything looked great. Consider that the place where the stalk snapped is just under from where all branches grow, so its curious that one branch has no signs of stress from the stem breaking but all other branches have droopiness and overall bad aspect.
In short what happened is an extreme supercropping on the main stem. I am worried that I could lose most of my plant due to my newbness :( And its a plant that is 100% female, unlike my other plant that is a hermie.
I was thinking maybe watering could help revigorate the plant.
please let me know anything if you know, I hope to save as much as I can from my babe.
peace.

Get rid of the herie first, wont they pollonate your female?

the best you can do with the broken stem is strap it together as best you can, put some rooting gel/powder on the break? And pray to the ganja gods for a miracle!!lol

Unfortunately I dont have any rooting gel or powder or what not, I know that would have helped.

I am about 3 to 4 weeks maybe 5 from harvest.
The stalk is all tied up and shit, but it doesnt seem to be healing, and as big as the plant is using tape wont hold, thats why I used splints and supports.
the way things look i think all the branches affected will die soon :(
What should I do if they do die ? should I let them dry on the plant or just cut the dead branches and then dry. I will smoke all the little buds on the branches , even if they are not mature.

did you leave it on the plant and give it a splint of bamboo or straws from the kentuky roided up chicken? ive managed to repair a broken main stem just into flowering, iyt was touch and go for a while, but payed off in the end.

also, cutting off the cumbrian layer plant circulation is still used to enhance a plants potentcy even today its still used in the forn of nails or wood strips, split the stem in half verticly and place a splint in the cut just remember north to south, east to west, front back front

You should actually read the OPs post. His branch was choked off by having a support tie that severed the cambium layer. When a branch breaks there is often a small portion of the bark that remains intact and can provide water and nutrients. He has waited and it is wilting and will not recover.

I guess at time being all I can do is wait and hope. I dont have any hormones for anything and do not know any technique to save plants in this state.
But in the case the branches above the broken stalk wilt and die, what should I do ? should i cut the whole part of the plant from where it broke, or just cut the branches that have buds ? to save some early buds at least and avoid total failure :|
