 My plants main stem broke

my plant was roughly 14 in tall now about 12 or 13...
the meristem snapped completely in half just beneath the second node from the top.. the little leaves growing out between the branches and the stem are still attached. just wondering what to expect from the plant.. will it be okay? is this essentially like topping my plant?
sorry i dont have an actual picture but i tried to draw up something so you have an idea

Meristems are tiny, so I doubt you actually broke them in half, but I suppose it's possible.
Most likely is that you broke the stem off just below the apical meristem, and should free the axillary meristems from the enzyme dominance.
In other words, yep, you topped it

use the snapped off tip as a new clone. root it n grow the bitch  as for the mother plant, it will now grow 2 main shoots (a form of high stress training is snipping the tip so it will produce 2 shoots from that point)
