First time grower, plant snapped, What to do!?

Plant is roughly 4 weeks old. Grown in a pot at home, and has spent the past 2-3 weeks outdoors. The stem snapped during transport to inside. As you can see one leaf is dying/dead/brown (idk.) What i'm wondering is what to do? I've read stuff like to cut above the snap and place it in the ground, or another pot... (cloning?) First picture is the snap. The rest are just random pictures. Is the last one a COLA perhaps??

Im not positive, not trying to be negative but let me say. That snap* looks bad, like 90% of the way through. If thats the case, I fear the worst. any more info? lighting? soil?
 
dood just restart, that thing looks really stretched anyway, and it wont recover well from such a bad snap especially if it is not doing that well in the first place. Try again and place your light alot closer, can we have details on set up by the way?
 
yeah you would just be wasting your time.. trying to save that thing.

'GAME OVER'
*please hit the restart button*

better luck next time..

peace.
 
You can mend the snap and hope for the best. Get it aligned like you would when setting a broken bone and put some masking tape around it. In order for the plant to heal some of the vascular tissues has to be intact. It looks like you've pretty much severed the whole thing.

BE CAREFUL NEXT TIME, I've snapped my plants before and it's a shame when it happens. Your broken plant is making me sad dude.

It might be young enough to take a cutting but your stem has sucked itself dry by now if its been more than a few hours. Maybe take the cutting form the top below the top two nodes. Get some rooting hormone and read up on how to take cuttings, "propagation" "cloning".
 
if thats all its grown in 4 weeks you should restart even if it didnt snap, not trying to be a dick or anything, just tryin to be honest.

hint: if it cant stand up on its own, its not doing as good as it should
 
This is what my wife said about me.
