Autoflower main stem broken

I went to move the plant today and snapped the main stem, yet not broken open or completely snapped. What should I do? If anything. Am I screwed. I’m on day 32.

Rub some aloe or honey on it and then use some black electrical tape of teflon to wrap it closed and to offer support while it heals. She’ll be fine but the stress may make her flower.

It’s not open anywhere on the stem just bruised should I still rub honey?and as in flower do you mean Herm? Because it’s currently in flower…

If she didn’t split I’d say no need for honey or aloe since there’s no open wound to get infected, my bad on the comment about stress causing flower as I didn’t catch on that you were already in flower. One of the many complaints about growing autos is that if they are stressed it can cause premature onset of flowering. The stem may still need some support in case the damaged area wants to flop over.

Thanks for the response, my day went from good to terrible quick with the slight break. I somewhat accidentally super cropped it im hoping it turns out okay.

Tape it. Support it. Move forward. You will be ok.
