So i deemed my plants ready for some good ol sunlight after they'd been inside for a week or so, but, the second night they were out a thunderstorm came through and battered them around, out of three only one got hurt. it was propped up and the wind hit it so hard that it bent/almost snapped over what it was propped up on, so it was hanging limply to the side. I brought that one back inside, propped it up in multiple places so that the stem is straight, and put it right under the light. I just wondered if anyone knows whether it even has a shot of recovery, the leaves are still green, although not vibrantly like the others, and i dont know if water is even reaching the top of the plant through the pinched spot. The place where it was bent is visibly thinner and slightly brown tinted. I lightly sprayed some water onto the leaves just in case. Thoughts?

You should be cool. They are extremely strong plants, I have see main stems snap and be fixed to produce flowers. Let it rest without the outdoors, it should come right back

It will be just fine in a week or two. That stem will repair itself and grow just fine. It will slow it down for like a week or two but will recover. Just keep it inside. Good luck and keep us posted. Take care.

yeah nature trains plants too! Yeah it stressed your plant but she might end up being bushier and fuller in the end, stay positive she will heal soon

alright update:the place where it was bent is now forming a little hump around it, so i guess thats kinda fixing itself, the first set of leaves is mostly brown, but the newest growth is still green for the most part, also on the top most leaves, the main vein in the center of the leaves are blood red colored. Are these things to be expected while the plant is focusing its energies on reparing the stem, and if anyone knows what the redness means, let me know, thanks, jom

well last night it seemed alright, but this morning i woke up to a completely limp dead plant, well, it was worth a shot right. But its no big deal because upon visiting my sites today, only the second time during daylight, i realized one site wasn't that well hidden. So it'll just be a two plant grow, although the two healthy ones i have have been forced to stay inside due to some more bad weather. The obstacles are just endless arent they
