Yep it should be fine if its still in veg just give it a while to recover before flowering, if you are in flowering there isn't shit you can do other that let it keep going, it will take some energy and resources to heal itself and take away from the buds a little but I would keep it for sure

Next time dont cut it off just get something to lean it up on and it will heal stop worrying about the leaves and leave it alone next time it would have been fine. I have bent my seedling stem in half before first leaves and it survived, just brace it up next time and you will see the growth come back and if by chance it didnt just take of off then not before. Some people do this on purpose its called supercropping. I had a big ass piece of duct tape fall from air duct before and it landed right on a huge bud and broke the stem in half. I took two popsicle sticks and made a splint and it was smashing some of the popcorn buds but I didnt care it made it to the last 3 weeks and swelled like crazy so Im glad I didnt remove it. Good luck man I would leave the rest it will be fine

go for it if you want, personally I'd give it some time to recover from the break before I took any clones though

sorry man i'm in a hurry so i can't read what everyone else has suggested but the same thing has happen to be a few times, best thing is to take toilet paper small amount dont over due it. and wrap it around the base of the stem while its being ties\d up or something to keep it in the right postion then spray the paper til its soked and as long as its wraped just about tight it will dry like that almost like a cast. Let it stay there for about a week and a half and then gentely wrap it off. This process allows it to scar up and re-heal better then tape or anything else laying around your house. Hope this helps

yea next time dont cut the stem. you can lean it on something or even tie it up at the bend or break. i had a main stem of my 6.5 footers get bent upside down with nugs on it and i just put a shoestring around the stem to stand it back up and it had the biggest nug outta all of them!
