so i was a little clumsy today when topping off my DWC 5 gallon bucket...instaad of putting the net pot with the plant in it aside like i usually do, i was in a hurry and simply lifted it up with one hand while i added water with the other and as i was doing this i accidentally lifted the top of the plant straight up into the burning hot 400watt HPS lightbulb

as a result one of the newest leaves completely singed off and is all brown now and the tips of the rest of the topmost leaves are all singed and brown and curled......the plant is 16 days into flowering and i dont think the top of the bud was burned or at least i cannot see any damages like i can on the leaves

will my plant be ok or will the new growth be stunted? also will this seriosuly delay my flower time at all? i kind of have some time constraints concerning harvest

It will be alright. I had it happen too. It may slow down just a bit but not much. Just be carefull. I stumbled once by my 1000 HPS and burned hair and fingers. hottest thing I ever touched.
