My little friend was caught out in some strong wind. I propped it up with a tooth pick and a bread twist and noticed it had a fold in the stem. Will this kill the seedling or will it heal up? Here is appic

It should be ok. Mature plants take serious abuse. They even seem to flourish from it. I've snapped branches where only a shred of skin held it together. I wrapped a piece of tape around it to hold it together, and that limb produced the most massive bud. (It's somewhat common for growers to abuse their plants on purpose to get that perceived performance. Search for "supercropping." I don't think it's a good idea. But, it shows how they take a lot.).

A young plant like yours can't take as much. But, that doesn't look bad.

I hope it will feel better because it looks fine.

Support it further up so she is standing tall and she should heal herself but be tender with her....

Thats gonna be fine as long as you follow slyones direction. Also I used scotch tape instead and did it right around the break. Dropped my brand new moby dick clone i drove 8 hours for before. It turned out great, shes ended up being my mother and got scrogged out in the end.

Update. She (hopefully) is going strong. Started training her (hopefully) into a spiral. Even my other older plants that looked like they were doomed have started coming good. Happy days!!! Pics to come

They're tough little fuckers you almost have to try to kill them.
