    well im a fuckin retard and when i was pulling one of my plants up the top half of it got caught under the light and snapped. there is no way this is going to keep growing still right, or should i just put it back under and treat like nothing ever happened?

    What stage was it in. If in veg it should come back fairly quickly with some tlc. if flowering it will come back but will not be very productive, you might consider reverting it back to veg, but it will take a long time.

    Bluntly speaking Farmer is wrong about the flowering girl she will come back although shorter but bushier, instead of 1 central cola she'll have at least 2 and probly more colas :>)

    it'll grow back, but like natrualhi said, you'll have at least 2 tops.

    I speak from experence on this, yes she will have multiple tops, but they will not add up to even close to the weight of the origal cola. I saw almost this exact same thing happen to 6 plants(all afganica) when one of my friends had a light fall when they were 5 weeks into flower. All of them lost their main cola and all of them ended up being far less productive than others in the same room. How many times have you seen this? Are you speaking from experence?

    hey i have an unrelated question. my grow room is like a closet, covered on three sides by white wall. we have a 2 large foils wall for the plants and then 2 sides are just white, but one side is glossy white and very reflective.

    my question is, should i just ditch one of the foil things and have it covered 3 sides by white wall and one side by foil, or is the foil better?

    Check out my gallery!>)

    In my grow room, I don't have room for tall plants {:>(

    All of them have been topped at one point or another.>P

    Also you'll notice 1 that was broken 4 weeks before harvest, but still had enough connection to fill out beautifully =>b.......

    Farmer, I'm sorry if you haven't had luck with topping your plants:>(

    I like gettin' 2-5 8"-10"x3" colas per plant =>D

    PS, just ignore the family photos, don't know why I posted them {:>\

    Foil is less reflective then a white wall.
    Nice pics Natural. At what point do you top? Thease days I grow clones in a modified SOG so I don't top. I have found that once buds have started to form topping leads to more colas but lower yealds. Not trying to argue only learn.

    I didn't mean to imply that i top plants in flower on a regular basis:>O

    However, if a break occurs the plant top takes from 4-14 days to recover, meantime the limbs below the break keep growing, and catch up, or grow to the height of the original cola.>)

    In the end; you end up with either 1 8" cola or 2-6 4" cola's you decide =>D

    one get's the same effect from 'scrog' and LST !>)

    what naturalhi is saying is correct reject,the lower branches catch up to the top which has now 2 tops,there for you will have 4 or more colas,i try for six with a bit of bending but usually end up with 4 biguns and 2 or 4 smaller tops(colas which ever you prefer).
