I was trying to LST my plant and bent the plant a tiny bit to far (because im an idiot) and it snapped nearly in half about three inches from the bottom. I put a long piece of plastic in the soil near the center of the plant to hold it up for now, is there anything I can do or am I going to lose the plant?

Well if too much of the tissue is ripped, it will not be able to repair itself; Hopefully it will pull through, its a weed; you'd be suprised what it can withstand

It will be fine just make sure you keep it supported while it heals and strengthens that area.

I thought of telling him to tape it too, I have done that many of times. But in Bloom when the meristem is already big.
I wonder if the stem being so small will have issues, like constriction.

Thanks alot guys, should it matter what type of tape I use? I put some masking tape around it semi-tight.

I would use this floral tape I just heard of. I am going to look for it this week and put it with my garden tools.

i wonder if liquid skin would work......the main point of taping is to prevent any possible diseases/infections/pests right? im pretty sure but idk
