Make a little splint on both sides of the break with some wood and wrap in a little duct tape. It might end up fine. They can heal pretty quickly. Just don't keep testing it to see how its doing. I'd remove the duct tape in a week so that the stem can thicken properly (but replace if the plant hasn't healed). Good luck!

I had this happen to me as stated make a couple splints with wood then not to tightly wrap with duct tape as stated. Within a week or two it should have enough new growth at the break to remove splint. This is what my experience was. Good luck brother

Should be fine now , but do keep her in a calm area as it heals . Cannabis is a very hardy plant and I have seen it survive much much worse .
good luck

You can see the old dominate pulp part of the stem kind of dried up with the main focus now being the new green fatter side.

CHECK THIS OUT (lol): 
Is it Duct or Duck? We don’t want you to be confused, so we will explain. The first name for Duct Tape was DUCK. During World War II the U.S. Military needed a waterproof tape to keep the moisture out of ammunition cases. So, they enlisted the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division to manufacture the tape. Because it was waterproof, everyone referred to it as “duck” tape (like water off a duck’s back). Military personnel discovered that the tape was good for lots more than keeping out water. They used it for Jeep repair, fixing stuff on their guns, strapping equipment to their clothing... the list is endless.
After the War, the housing industry was booming and someone discovered that the tape was great for joining the heating and air conditioning duct work. So, the color was changed from army green to the silvery color we are familiar with today and people started to refer to it as “duct tape*.” Therefore, either name is appropriate.
