Main stem snapped 2 weeks into flowering.

I have only one plant at the moment, I was 2 weeks into flowering, everything was going great and all of a sudden I had to hide my plant (didn’t want to get caught) so I accidentally snapped the main stem off :/ it was very healthy but now the leaves are so droopy. I won’t be able to take it if she doesn’t survive :/ she was a hermie and I had pulled out her balls and hermies are known for being survivors so I’m convincing myself things will get better. Pls tell me if she’ll make it and what next to do?? It’s my first time growing

Honestly you don’t have many options other than to ride it out. I’d cut that branch clean below the split and hope the plant redirects hormones to secondary branches and you wind up with a few fat colas.

Take some clones and try to reveg them.

If she was already hermie she’s probably going to pop a bunch more balls due to the stress though.

I have taped the area together tightly where it snapped. If she starts growing more balls I’ll pluck them out. I am ready to do anything that can help her heal. I’ve been facing silly issues like this from 6 months and this is the first I’ve grown and she came so far

I’d put it back in veg, if you flower that out you’ll just be disappointed. Try to get it to perk back up and put it back in 18 hrs of light.

From there you can go multiple directions, but personally I’d take cuts and flower those rather than try to recover mom.

The tape will probably work, I’ve seen some amazing recoveries, just try to keep her alive for a week.

Are you saying I should give her 18/6 till she recovers. While she has flowers on her and then continue with 12/12 when she recovers?

At this point I'd chalk it up as a loss. Even if it made it and finished flower you'd be lucky to get a couple joints out of the plant.

You obviously need WAY more light. Whatever it's under isn't cutting it as you can see from the small size and extremely stretched out plant. GL
