A couple days ago, I pinched one of my girls to stregnthen the stem in that spot, and apparently pinched too hard. When I ch ecked yesterday on the girls, the steam had fallen over, and snapped one of the 4 "stems" that form the mainstem, and it was leaning over. I straightened it, and afixed a paper clip to the damage site with rope, tied tightly, to act as a splint. It seems to be doing its job, but I'm wondering if this is going to repair itself if I leave this splint on, and still grow buds out of the nodes?
