Plant first aid!!!

Ok. So. I have one of my ladies topped so that it splits into two main stalks. and i was trying to lst today and it literally split in half. not the entire trunk, but a decent part of it. i seriously sat there for an hour and a half to see what the plants immideate reaction would be, and it was just as healthy as before meaning water was still pumping thru to the whole plant.

I tied her up as best i could with some thread, but im looking for any advice, and what should i expect? stunted growth? I will add a picture tommorow if its necessary. but any ideas would be great. thanks anyways...fuck.

ps. i've heard people using duct tape? and is there a way i could fill in the slice in the stalk or should i let the plant take care of that itsself? damn i've never BROKEN a plant before.

Ive seen poeple use drinking straws cut to lenth and split down side as a brace, just put stem in straw . havent done it my self, I wouldent put duct tape straight onto plant! also there is grafting tape
from any plant selling shop,

i broke a plant in half about a month ago. all i did was take some wire and some masking tape. i folded some of the tape back against itself so the sticky part wasn't touching the plant. wrapped it up not to loose but not to tight. after about 2 weeks took the tape off and there was a chunk that looked like light green pie filling accept it was hard. plant recovered great other than one leaf right above where it snapped. plant is growing strong and great to this day.

ps. i snapped it good man, i mean it was holding on by only the skin on one side. you will be fine just act fast.
