Don’t put anymore stress on it as it may open back up. I would splint it with 2 small pieces of bamboo and garden wire to the stalk and opposite branch and continue training. The other option would be to supercrop that branch to bring it out to where it is supposed to be. If you leave it there you’ll probably be frustrated with a tall cola in the middle that blocks out the light on all sides. It’s not a serious break so if you can get it close to back in line and even height then no worries.

I've used duct tape in the past to help cover and secure wounds like this, but it may also be helpful to loosen the wire on that side a bit before applying anything (if there's still a little give or movement in the stem). Just a side question: do you have any wire with a softer rubber or foam coating? It looks like the wire you're using might start cutting into the stem's surface if the tension is too high. Good luck! I think she'll make a strong recovery!

That will recover, i did a bit of the same with my LST this last time round, they turned out fine so I wouldnt worry about it.

I usually use surgical tape. Had worse a break then that and survived.

Boa tarde. Eu usava alguma coisa para isolar essa zona- Uma fita, um pouco de borracha, para não ficar a fazer esforço. Porque com o peso dos buds pode partir. Cuidado com isso. Abraço
