Help branches breaking in flower

Help. Several branches in late flower have fell over and they have basically snapped but not broke off. Should each branch be removed. I'm looking for the safest route. Chop the branches? Leave them hang and forget it? Or chop the whole plant in fear its been over stressed. Help!

I wouldn’t worry too much about stress.. unless it’s a clean break. If after 48 hours or so, the part above the break is still Alive and the fan leaves aren’t wilted - which will be quite obvious if so - then it’s still alive and will make it. If they’re wilting and dying, clip it off. I run a few strains that get heavy late in flower and have this issue. I’d recommend these plant yo yos.. it’s like a spool of fishing line with plastic hooks you can support several colas with. Amazon search like “plant yo yo hanger” and you’ll get em. Great product to have around. In the mean time, I’d just keep it at about horizontal to the floor if you can find an area that’s open for it to get light and not be up against other branches, and tie it up with string or something maybe. Hope that helped in some way. It’s a good leaning experience honestly cuz purposely doing this will come in handy some time

Appreciate you both. I was worried it was to late for repairs. I have taped each branch & supported each by strings and shoe laces for now haha! I removed 4 or 5 smaller branches that had broke as they weren't worth the effort. Thanks for the suggestion as well on the Amazon item. I'll check it out for future. I never thought I would see the day my buds would be to heavy! It sounds almost like a good problem. Iv updated my diary for the week including photos of what iv done. Fairly basic and not at all professional but should get it done haha ty both again.

If still connected tape the brake. The branches will heal. You can also support the branches.
