First of all kind of apply first aid. You can tape the area. Look up a video for it. Then you should also use something to support the branch, like some wood sticks or some wire or even a net can help you, if it is due to the weight of the bud. Happy new year bud, hope everything’s turns out good!

Tape up the break with surgical tape stuff, (the breathable tape that hospitals use). Support the branch by either using stakes or a net.

I normally wrap the wound with painters tape and then use some garden wire to hold it together. The wound will callus over as the branch grows. You want to make sure not to leave the wire on too long or it will impede the flow of nutrients and water. After you remove the wire you can moisten the painters tape and it will split apart as the stem grows and eventually fall off.

I've had this before on an auto a grew outside, Aggressive LST with no wiggle room from the wind was the culprit. squishing it back together as soon as it happens is the best option. the plant will heal and make a nub "hard woody growth" aorund the wound. It will be prone to breaking again so support needs to be added. I always use a bunch of string so it can still break. I find tape can trap to much moisture and if there is any opportunistic pathogens they can make it a home. .When I did this to mine it still blooms and did everything it needed to do, it was a bit smaller vs the other branches but that's to be expected with healing from something like this....[][][].... Best Of Luck!

Yes like AntiGestrecktesGrasanswered said, you need to place it back like how it was before it broke and seal it with tape!
