Plant is nowhere near ready.
Can hold up with stakes and ties and even tape the stem at the break. It will likely grow back together.

If the stem is cleanly broken in two the games over, if it simply bent then the tubes that transport water and nutrients (phloem and xylem) are still connected then it can be saved, supported and hopefully keep on growing.
At that stage you be lucky to get high but if the stem is snapped then hang and dry and better luck next time

Never used honey but have re attached flowering stems before that broke clean.
It’s worth a try.
I read here to use electrical tape because it stretches. Makes sense.

I wouldnt use electrical tape. You ever wrap something with it that you hande a lot? the glue always leaks out and all over your hands after use, gets all sticky. I cant imagine a tape that does that would be great for a plant
but this is all speculation Maybe electrical tape is great!

I haven’t tried it yet. Actually I haven’t broken a branch in a while.
But I will sure be cautious.

I perfer electrical tape first then medical cloth tape. Weed is a crazy strong plant, bounces back from all sorts of crazyness

Don't just straight tape it up, use a small stick or popsicle stick as a splint to provide more support.Its just about hanging on so I have used some duck tape to see if it holds if not then

Yes as long as the leaves are not limp on the snapped branch...or stem, it will survive.

Use twisties to hold it together. It happens all the time. Of 3 plants I have in full flower all 3 have been split from aggressive supercropping. Including a White Widow with about 2 weeks to go. Split the main stem right down the middle from where it was first topped as a young plant. Twisties and a dab of Tupelo honey. Honey not necessary!

Be glad it happened because it will not be the last time.
