ARGH broke a branch!!

ok, my plant is 6 weeks into flowering and after reading up about bending and how that can cause each bud along the branch to grow better and bigger towards the light, i thought i'd give that a go.

i successfully managed to slowly bend a few branches so they were more spaced out but then one of them snapped. it did not snap completely so i have propped it up and i have read that the stem should heal. my main question is does anyone know how long it will take to heal roughly? because it was a branch that was fairly low on the main stem it looked like a fairly old, stiff branch which is why it obviously broke. about halfway around the circumference of the branch has snapped. any information on how long it may take to heal would be much appreciated. thanks

dude i did the same thing a week ago, i broke a main branch fairly close to the bottom of the plant, i checked it today and the branch that broke is doing fine hasnt healed but is still alive, but another branch that this branch was connected to, the top leaves are wilting downwards and i have no idea why. well hows ur's doing
