When LST'ing, almost broke off a whole top! Will she be ok? Flower Time?? **PICS**

SO in the process of trying to bring light under the canopy during my painstakingly long first grow veg, I accidentally almost snapped one of the two top stalks off. After a previous failed attempt at Supercropping that resulted in a really snapped main stalk, by the next morning, she was standing up straight with no ill effects. Right now you can see through the stalk, but it's not harming the plant any, plenty of brown scar tissue and a fat knot where I made the mistake.
I assume this plant will recover just as well, but is there anything I should do to ensure this? Or do I just wait and see?
Oh, and like a total dumbass I lost a top completely on my biggest plant. I'm kicking myself for that one.

this is just a pic so you can see where I'm at with grown number one. I feel accomplished so far. Should I get them into flower already? Will they grow more than twice in size in flower?
If the outer part of the stem is intact, it should make it. Obviously we can't see see it, so can't be absolute. As for flowering, depending on strains, they can double or even triple in size. Others only grow about a foot then fill in. So if your grow area is half full, it's time to flip.
I'm Grumpy' because your Dopey!

Here's a better pic. As you can see, the brown tissue has already begun to form. I guess all I can do is wait and see, unless there is something I can do to aid in repair??
you should have put a plaster on it, to hold it together , other than that your grow space is going to get a bit cramped put them on 12/12 now,they are gonnae get massive m8(when you hold broken branches in there original position they should heal m

TOO MUCH LOVE WILL KILL YOUR PLANTS
Yea, I'm just gonna let her rock out. I tied it down, and the leaves and stem off that broken bit have bent toward the light and shown a lil growth so I guess we're all good there.Originally Posted by jofey

I have 2 strains in there: 3 master kush, 1 aurora. I know, I should have kept them all the same, but I'm a newb.
If they were all as big as the aurora I would def get into flower... like today.
But here are the approximate heights after LST:
Aurora: 18 in
MK 1 & 2: ~15 in
MK 3: ~12 in
I want to let them continue to veg, but I don't want that aurora growing too tall and have no idea how long she will need in flower. I am going to be hitting them with lots of nutes and rigorous schedule. Really trying to maximize the amount of buds. What would you do?
I want some massive plants and I've got almost 4 ft worth of vertical space to work with. I'm gonna let them veg another week and then in 12/12 they will go. Sound ok?
Congratulations, you've just supercroped
What doesn't kill her will only make her stronger.Congratulations, you've just supercroped
