SUPERCROPPING GONE WRONG

Hi I tried to supercrop my plant, one branch I did fine but this one I bent to much and it snapped and I have no tape! Anyone ever just leave one like this and have it heal good? Please reply fast cause if not I have to go find some tape

Looks broke to me go tape it man I cannot see it healing on its own the way it is.

As long as its not wilting and its still getting water threw it will heal itself. Supporting it with whatever you have around the house would be wise. Be creative
 
Found some tape and string, tape wouldn't stick well so it's just loosely wrapped around it and I got a string and tied up the brand to my light cage hopefully all is well tommorow

super cropping kinda early? i only do that if i have monster growers trying to reach for my lights. otherwise i find it useless as it stresses the plant and stunts growth if you snap a limb it takes a lot of energy to fix that spot. thats just my 2 cents i do see a lot of people using this method but it dont work for me. only in a need to keep buds from touching lights.

look up "Apical dominance" when you super crop, it redistributes auxins,sugars and starches to other parts of the plant allowing them to catch up with the Apical dominant shoot. this gives you more tops instead of a christmas tree 1 dominant top.
 
Exactally^ I already have 7 nice big tops with 2 or 3 nodes each and I'm 5 days into 12/12 so I'm in the stretch period, keep in mind this is my first grow and I'm experimenting with all training methods and other techniques to see what works best for my next grow which will be much bigger, this is just 2 indica bag seeds from a qp I had, I topped this plant and now I'm supercropping and tieing down the branches and their responding really well to the lst, just went overboard on this one branch, that bandaid idea is a great one though and I will do it now!, thanks for the help guys and any help or advice at all is more then appreciated, I'm far from ignorant
