This cant be happening!!!

This little son of b*tch was growing beautifully in my homie's aerogarden. he noticed this mold on the stem by the base of the plant. he went to clean it and the plant just bent in half. he straightned up the bend with some tape to hold it up and transplanted it into...(see below pics) the root system looked fine.
1.)should the plant hold up since the roots are fine or due to that bend at the stem is it a lost cause?
2.)should he leave the lights off untill tomm morning's regular cycle or should he just leave them on its regular cycle?

by that mold it looks fucked, take a few clones from it, if they root kill that bitch, though it could be ok.

is that little bit of blac k the bend? is that white stuff the mold, get rid of the white stuff immedialtey, take it out roots and all and give it a really really good rinse...WITHOUT bending the stem again, give a few dunks in phed water with some h202, (hydrogen peroxide)...the stem will be fine, even if it broke it will spit out some goo and fuckin pull some jesus shit, trust me she'll be fine mate

the little black spot is part of that mold... but yeah that is exatcly were it bent. when he grabbed and tried to clean it, it just caved over.

it will be fine be very easy on it, i would even switch the light to 18 and 6 so i gets dark time, darkness will repair roots and also help get right of the mold, mold needs light to photosynthesize, get a sock and place it over the stalk on the bottom of ur stem, or something similar to stop the light from shining on the mold itself, i had the same problem i used socks haha i was ghetto about it that was yrs ago

Molds do not photosynthesize, they get their energy from organic matter. But yeh, darkness will help the plant to recover.
