I don’t think there’s any coming back from that, unfortunately. I would start a new plant

Very unlikely it'll recover from that, looks like pinching (or weight on it) or insect damage. Difficult to say. It might recover, but yeah, I'd germinate some other seedling so long, too.

Plant a new one for sure but let her be for a day in case she recovers. Good luck! 😊

How long until she dies?
How long until a seedling dies? This autoflower bent outside and I’m hoping she will survive. She hasn’t turned brown yet. First pic is damage. 2nd pic is right after. Third pic is today. It’s been about 24 hours and she’s still green... a little yellow though.

Over watering? Will she recover?
When I lifted this GSC auto from the tent to LST she simply fell over. Prior to that I thought she looked very healthy. Since then her leaves have all flopped down. I'm pretty sure I've been over watering. She's now being supported. Will she recover? see before and after pics

Stem not growing as fast as the branch
The Two mainline branch seems to have more girth than the main stem. Any reason why the stem isn’t growing at the same rate?

Stem Damage in High Winds/Tropical Storms
I live in Thailand, it's very hot a the moment so we are prone to tropical storms. When this happens it's very windy. I am concerned this will cause damage to the stem of the plant/s. Is it advisable to use a stake to support the plant stem, or will the plant just deal with it?

Accidentally bent/squished the stem on Pheno #3, is it possible it can bounce back?
I was LST'ing the Purple Haze Pheno #3, I accidentally got a bend in the stem and it could have snapped or partially torn, I attached some photos hope these help. It was by accident, I have nerve damage and arthritis so I can't keep my hands still that much especially standing.
