Okay, my plant is about a month old, Nothing is wrong, no deficiency's nothin, I was LSTING it using wire clothes hangers cut into about 6In lengths and bent halfway, I've been lsting since week 1, I've done multiple grows this same way and never had a problem.

This time however i was trying to make it bend into a 90 degree angle pretty much so it would end up lsting around the pot, Well i guess i put to much pressure on it and it snapped right in half, Like 40% of the top part is just barely hanging there, I got a straw and cut it to length between my nodes which isnt alot, Maybe a inch and a half, And cut the straw in half then taped it around the split part, Is there anything else that will help it recover? I also took the Lst holding out so she is free to grow without restrictions..Sorry if that makes no since, Ill explain differently if it doesnt, Im extremy high and dont want to lose my baby, it's my only one and i wanted to take clones soon
 
I've seen them recover. If not you have a topped plant. Whether it recovers or not it is going to bush out as if you topped or pinched. How are the leaves looking above the break?
 
You might consider taking the top of the plant that's almost broken off as a clone. Just give it a fresh cut at the bottom of the stem and get it quickly into a humidity chamber.
 
Its about a 6-7 node plant and the top 3 nodes are the damaged part, I just checked on her and she is starting to droop. Dammit, I dont have a humidity chamber tho
 
Happens to me in my scrog all the time, I usually use a bit of masking tape and they seem to recover fine.
 
Many times we've used a large boiling pot with a lid on it for clones. We'd have all the clones in peat pucks with rooting hormone and have the pot on top of a heating pad set to low. We'd also insulate the pad a bit by putting a couple cloths between it and the pot.
 
If you want to keep it put some org honey on the stem keeps out infection and assists the plant in repairing it's stem.
 
Update, It is looking good, The only thing that is wilting anymore is one fan leaf that is right near the split, I suspect this will stunt the grow for a few weeks :( but atleast i didnt lose half of it
