Newbie here folks
today I woke up and decided to increase my yield by tiring the top 3 branches down I'm in the second week of flowering so when I tied down the two main branches the top of the main stem cracked about an inch.. Am I doomed is this the end of the world... My computer is down and i can't upload pics from iPhone

Hurry and put some tape around the break leave alone for about 2 weeks or more and it'll heal there be a lil knot like knuckle spot there but it'll be ok and grow on, try to not stress her too much

yeah just hold it up with something and brace it, with a little tlc and leaving her be, she should heal that spot pretty quick. Just like us though, if your trying to mend her broken spots, KEEP it un molested!

Cracked is no problem, even hanging by a strand is usually okay... Just try and keep it from moving around so it can heal itself.

Like everyone else said, support it, you can tape it if you want, but when I break mine over, i do not tape.

Just prop it up and you should be fine ganja plants are pretty resilient.

I had a main break on my best girl so I put a thin layer of root hormone and taped it back with tension. I never noticed any difference :D no wilting or nothing

I ripped off a piece of my earphones off and tied a know around it should I leave there until I harvest or remove it after a couple of weeks?

Tape it, electrical tape works well if you have it.
I have even used bread bag type twist ties on them and it worked.
I just made sure to remove them once it had healed and formed a knuckle.
Good news is once it heals it will be even stronger.

just tie it together. it will scab up and heal. plastic grocery bags can be ripped apart and used as a bandage if needed... otherwise some scotch tape works fine too. just don't forget to cut the bandage off once it heals so the plant doesnt get restricted from growing.
