The plant will survive if the main stem is not damaged.

If you didn't throw them away, get some duct tape and some honey. Apply honey to each side of the split, put them back together, and tape for a few days.
Not sure how well this will work in flower, but I literally split my main stem in twain, and a side branch once in veg, and this fixed it.

I personally would avoid the honey, but I have snapped many a branches, even with buds on them during flower by accident and as long as you tape it up quick its always fine. It seems to be important that the stem is aligned properly and time is a huge factor, seconds really count. If in flower its usually necessary to stake the branch up aswell and attach it to the stake pretty well, even if its sideways it will be better supported. I have a hilarious plant right now a big sativa auto Ill post a pic in a while maybe when lights come on and youll get a laugh and never sweat a snapped branch again

Dry them and smoke them or tape them together with duct tape. On the tape touching the stem use double sided. As to not let the tape stick to the stem remove in 2 weeks all is well. Some people smear cloning gel on the broken area. I realize this post is a day late sorry.
This is opinion and what's worked for me in the past.
Good luck

The buds should mature a little more in a glass of water

no just cut your losses and move on, dry them and smoke them and learn from them or feed them to your pit bull

I break all of my branches on purpose. Now i of course dont do it when they are full of buds but this is what I've learned....your plants love to repair themselves!!! LIKE THEY FUCKING LOVE IT! zip tie or tie it up with twine. For furture reference...before they go up in smoke lol

I super top as well. I like how they form the giant knuckles. I think it's easier for them to move water and nutes from the knuckle up. But this just a hunch.

Strange I've always thought of it the other way, I think of it as scar tissue. Scar tissue doesn't function as well a natural growth.

Bieng a dick I've drove my thumb nail into one of those knuckles. Just to see wtf and how strong it was. I keep a rugged right thumb nail. I trim leaves and have even cloned with my thumb nail with success many times. When I drove my thumb nail in the knuckle it literally squirted plant juice/water all over my hand and up my wrist I was like wtf lol.
I'm a wierdo though. I even tasted the plant sweat you know when 2 leaves overlap and it sweats. Ya tasted like water that had a clone sitting in it for like 2 weeks......ask me how I know what that tastes like lol. I even tasted my hydro tubs once in a while when they were going.
I'm realizing how fucked up this sounds as in ending the post.
Good luck.

I haven't really noticed a difference in growth. The two pictures are exactly 2 weeks apart. I transplanted them, broke her branches, and took the picture....those bitches got huge! Even had 2 branches completely break and fall to the floor, just tied them with twine to a beam in the top of the tent.
That's funny as shit that you know what it all taste like too haha

Yea, unless the branch is severed I just tape it to give a bit of support and it will be fine. Like IPinPools said, doing some HST knuckles is pretty common for indoor grows-especially if dealing with a lanky sativa so don't be afraid to do a bit of S&M action on the girls-they love it.
