Did I do damgae to the buds from laying the cover directly on the flowers?????
Should I try to bend the buds back up straight??????
Will they fix themselves?????
I do not have any crystals yet and have to get through the month of October so I will get stakes out there today for future covering.
Do you think I may have damaged the pistils????
Like I said I need another 6 weeks of flowering I am growing outside in my garden it is black plasticed. I live in Maine so you can understand that I have to deal with the frosts until my plants are ready to harvest. I would appreciate all answers to my questions. Thanks~!!!
Whatever damage done sounds minimal. The branches should straighten themselves today or within 2-3days. If branches are broken or ripped, use duct tape and make a cast like bandage after you reset the break.

You might of knocked off some THC crystals and some pistils may be damaged. I wouldn't worry about it, just use something to support your 'micro fiber plant cover' next time.
