hello all i am currently growing an autoflower strain and am in day 20 of my grow and my plant was really really crooked like falling over onto the soil and when i propped it back up the main stem snapped but didnt break in half it is hangin on by a few threads..I put two toothpicks on both sides to prop it up and watered it with some superthrive...Do you think my plant still has a chance??

It will likely be just fine (a pic to see the extent of the break would help).

I have a plant that the main stem got broken...used a BBQ skewer for support and wrapped cloth (no tape!!) to keep the stem/skewer in place. After three days, I removed the cloth to see how the healing process was going, and much to my amazement, it had already healed itself! There was a "bump" or largish node where the break once was, but it grew just fine.
