I don't think it will harm your plant. There are growers who deliberately split the stems
S of there plants in the belief it makes them more potant. Believe it or not. I don't see the logic behind it myself. But it is done. So unless it's some disease I've never herd of. I wouldn't worry about it. Although 30cm is enormous swelling. How's the rest of the plant doing? Has growth slowed down at all? Any strange growth started? Or anything else out of the ordinary going on?

Oh what. That's a new one on me. Maybe one of the more experienced growers will have an idea what's causing it. You can wrap some plastic milk bottle cut up to wrap around the stem and use cable ties to secure it in place. Thats about all I can suggest. What strain is it? I can't remember without looking which I will do now
