That's it! I'll take care of my plant tomorrow. I'll trim the dying branches. Maybe I'll feed vegging nutes for ~1 week or so.

Shit happens dude, i would use a non toxic tape maybe something like masking tape and tape those bitches back together if they dont heal then your shit out of luck and need to just cut the branch off and take your losses. Every grower with at least a few grows under their belt has bumped, bent or broke a branch or two it happens all the time, tape it and keep an eye on things. Good luck. Also keep your pets out of your grow rooms your cat could have some critter living in its fur and then its into your grow room.

Today it seems the branches are alive and trying to heal. This could be awesome ... I'll keep you guys posted!

nip that shit off, and beat the cat. stem mending must be done right away. once the edges start to die, its too late.

I might save them. Today the branches looked better. With a bit of luck I might have them up

I'll keep you guys posted!

Update: One branch is dead. One survived. Funny cuz the one ripped in two survived.

Today the branch really showed signs of being alive. The top of it is searching for the light. It's so impressive how it can be recovered after a one week fight.
This branch was only connected with the rest of the plant with a piece of skin.
A miracle happened in my grow room.
PS: We still love our cat

That's it!

The branch which was dying weeks ago it's 100% recovered! Amazing! The recovery took 2 weeks+. The stem was broken and only some skin was keeping it in one piece. I just can't imagine how this happened

If it happends the same to you and you get your plant ripped in pieces don't give up! Use duct tape & some sticks just to make sure you keep the stem straight.

Guys I did both and turned out to be the saving solution for one branch. I'm happy about the results

Thank you for your suggestions!
