New grower. So I was low stress training/& supercropping my plant. It is on its 4th leaf set. When I was bending the stems I snapped the main stem. I snapped it pretty good. It was hanging by some fibers and I grabbed some wet paper towel to patch it. I hope I don’t lose my leaves above the break. I assume it will live but what will this do? Is it ok if I did lose the top above the break?
Snapped main stem?

The plant will survive, the top is questionable. You'll know within a few hours. Worse case scenario, you've topped your plant.

Just put it back as close as possible to original and wrap with tape
This pretty much if you aint ages you can just tape it and it probably will reattach ok in a lil time ive seen it work many times

This works. I once had a tomato plant split completely in half due to the weight of its fruit. I wrapped it as tightly as I could with twine and it completely healed. Nothing even happened to the tomato’s, all worked out 100%!
If it’s an auto plant it’ll probably freak out and go into flower. They’re so sensitive.

Stick it in a cup of water & train the remaining branches back. Might as well take a goof up & use it to increase your yield.
check the water in a day or 2 and add more water. After 10-14 days depending how thick the stalk is you should have roots. It’s a crap shoot with thicker stems.. may take longer. Once you do see roots.. get it in a pot of soil & now you have 2 plants.
