Hard to say from brief description, but it will probably be fine if you stabilize it. Get a stake long enough to reach above the break and use it like a splint. Tape above and below the break and it should heal and strengthen at that point. Sounds like it basically supercropped itself.

In the time frame you described I would expect it to recover if you confidently put the ends back together (fairly close, let's get it taped) then tape it there.

bending or training is, something you start early as you can. IMHO you have about 3 +/- 1-2 weeks of your veg time to apply whatever technics you use.

SCROG is the easiest fastest way to train, 2, layers 3 layers mostly 1-2 layers.

there is a lot of stuff you can try. you can start a second grow, just to practice stuff on extra plants, even males, they make the best torture subjects if want to prefect your splitting applications or snaps n stuff.

Just support it horizontally if you want it to grow that way, if the bark layer is intact your golden, you've just supercropped your first plant....woohoo!

Or like one of mine (one out of lots) that foxtailed like a MFer lol.
I bend, crop, fim, and murder plants to obtain bushiness. I haven't had one foxtail yet. Fox-tailing is often misdiagnosed re-veg. :P I've only seen foxtailing from heat stress or to much N late in bloom.
But like you said, You only had the one out of lots. What was the strain if you don't mind me asking?

Not at all, it was White Russian and yup only one of 4 and the tallest. There were other strains as well in the same room. It actually looked kind of the same as dr Grinspoon by barny's. It was a hydro grow in a tray of multiple plants as well. Still quality smoke and huge but the structure was way off the norm.

I use a 3 techniques,I top all the way through veg,but I veg for 6/7 week along side the plants in flower,but when there long and supple ,I do ull the branches over,to form a more rounded plant,then I set the table (netting) above the plants by about 3/4 inch ,once there through table it's when I start the scrog ,with s braces
