Broken branch what’s next?

Last night we had a very hard rain and one of the branches broke at the stem. I taped it up like you would a graft and will keep a sharp eye on it. My question is has anyone experienced this before? The branch is heavy with buds and the rain was the straw that broke the canabis’s back. I would finish cutting it away but then my fear is that the plant will be susceptible to pests and disease. Any advice will be appreciated.
