No, it is OK, unless completely crushed off. I would not tape it. I would prop it back into place and let it heal on its own.

BTW, can you heal in 2 days?

Just prop it back and forget about it. Time will tell, but this is a high stress training technique. :)

If I tape it, then I am expecting the stem to take all the weight again. To me it is better to prop up the weight and maybe use one wrap of paper and thread as a splint if worried about misalignment.
 
What stage/day are you at? If it is in veg, just take it off and let the lower branches veg out and get a few main cola's going...welcome to topping.

We need pics to truly tell if it will be god or bad for you.
 
it shes cracked bad sometimes she wont repair but remember how strong they are given you have been taken good care of her, scotch tape and a band aid! I did it once and it took about 5 days and sure enough scared right over and I was even able to remove the band aid and even most the tape! keep us updated im always curious to see wat happens in this situation but im sorry it happened! it happens to the best of us, light falling, being stoned a anything! GOOD LUCK
 
if your main stem has broke get 2 chop sticks and some electrical tape and make a splint

it will heal but will take time ive done this in the past then ive put to much pressure on the steam when doing lst
 
I think it's a lost cause now I'll just see how it grows with out the main stem.I think I'm gonna add a new plant to the room to make up for it and just grow it at 12/12 the whole time
