I have never had this happen but I have had stems bend and almost break while LST'ing. And one split right in half. Freaked me right out. First off, the string will block the flow of water up the stem and the growth as well. Try tape. I used electrical tape as it has low adhesion to the stems of plants I have found. And it gives with growth, but sticks well to itself. Or good old duck tape. Also as you wrap it around you can build it up to add support to the branch. Add sticks or whatever to add support for the wieght. Videoman had this happen to him I beleive in one of his post (I will try to find the post for you and add to this later) and taped up the stem and it healed. My plant that split in half seems to have healed as the growth above has not wilted or anything. There was about 8 inches above the split. It is good it has not broken right off. You have a chance. BUT mine was not in flower. I am not an expert by any means, just trying to help. I will add to this when I find the info. Good luck!
