Broke main stem on Auto

Greetings fellow farmers,
I started my first ever grow of a Auto. I have been growing from seed to 3-4 weeks and decided to LST in hopes of increasing yield. I bent the main stem and tied down. Everything was okay until a couple days later I went to break off a fan leaf to give the rest more light and damnit I hear a snap and the main branch broke pretty good but not off. I immediately pull it back up to where the pieces came back together and tied it off. I sprayed some foliage booster on it hoping that will help it to heal. Question: Have I blown it or do y'all think she will recover and be fine. or will the break cause her to be to stressed?

She'll take some time to recover probably.. theres a good chance the finshed yeild could be comprimised.. fingers crossed it will be all good..

I've had some success wetting a strip of paper towel and wrapping it around the break to make a "bandage". I then give it a squirt with plain water for a few days to keep the paper towel bandage wet.

I use painters tape and tape er up.
Could be better, could be worse.
Ride it out, see how it goes.
Take notes on what you see and recovery time.
So you know for next time.
