I was looking in LST and see how i’d get this sorted in the small space. While doing so I accidentally broke the top main branch. What do I do? It cracked and stuff is oozing out. Do I leave it and will it repair itself or should I remove the entire top? :( will she grow with it?

I use the tape that is used for holding bandages. It's that breathable stuff that will stretch with the plant once it repairs itself. Or if its not fully broke and could be held up at 90 deg you could class it as an accidental super crop.

@hashy, it can still stand up! At least it’s standing for now. Should I just leave it like that or put something around it?

Hello. I find if I use tape direct on the plants they often have a reaction to the adhesive which can be seen for weeks after, or I pull some of the outer layer of stock off when it is removed which leaves a mark. If I've cut or hurt my plants I put some sulphur on the wound then take some stiff cardboard and make a tube. Unroll the tube and reroll around the cut or break. Put as much tape around the cardboard as you want. Hope that helps. Chuck.
