That looks horrible! Keep that stem dry from now on.
It looks like you are going to have to clean that wound up too.
Not sure how to approach that though, as I have never had to treat wounds other than splits and scrapes.
Usually, if kept dry with plenty of airflow, wounds heal pretty well.

I think I'd treat it like I would a person. I'd lance it clean it out and then keep it as dry as I could in order to keep the rot out. Maybe even break out some sealer. I'd also put an ant trap/poison thing out to keep ants from keeping it from healing.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but better you here it now

That plant has root rot, pretty bad too! I don't think she's gonna make it.

Good luck bro, I've never had one come back from it that bad.

peace

I usually water every day, since I have a raised screen "tube" lined with weed cloth and packed with rich soil that my babies are planted in (has dried out quickly all summer). This has kept my growth at a maximum (10-12 ft plant in Northeast), but as the season dwindles and the cold starts creep in at night (61F last night!) I think that I should now let the roots dry out before the next watering, in order to prevent root rot.

That is one scary picture, bro. It haunted me in my dreams last night. Good luck keeping her clean and dry.
