some pics would help.... but if its not to bad try keeping a wet papertowel wrapped around the damaged part of the branch. be sure to keep the papertowel wet and after about a week u should be good to go...
good luck

And don't blame the pinching technique. I have lots of plants and everyone of them has been pinched from the day the sprouted their second set of leaves. You damaged your plant not the technique. To much force, you just want to barely break apart the fibres on the inside. I'll write up a how-to for pinching and show the method I use. I just took a 1/2 inch wide stem and pinched it until it folded over on itself. Basically I put a 90 degree bend in a tall sativa and halved it's height with no detrimental effects to the plant. Be more careful and a little less zealous next time and you will be fine.

probblay shouldent try new techniques with your "favorite plant" and try it on the one you least like instead.... tater and hick put it in good words take their advice... also low stress to the stem like tater said will make it branch out more and get bushier....
thc is good for me

You just gotta be carefull if you do it right pinching works wonders to spread branches out so they get more light. LOL i remember pinching a main stem of one of my girls and i snaped all but about s quarter of the stem. I just made a little splint and she grew back togather fine.
