Rusty is spot on, avoid whopping off your cola if you can! if the stalk that is bent looks to have split or is beginning to brown on the inside and all of the growth from there on up is dying, it is not salvageable. However, if you think you can ween it back to its original vigor then that's what you should do. Chopping off sections of plants during flower causes lots of stress to the plant and could cause it to hermie....:wtf:, same thing with doing any kind of training any later than a week before flowering!

Rusty, check your rep, I left you a note :thumbsup:

Best wishes,

SauceeMcGee Reviewed by SauceeMcGee on . question? I went outside today, and one of my top colas was bent over like something had fell on it. I think it's dead. The plant was topped so I have 2 colas instead of one, thankfully. Question is, can I just clip off the top that's broken? Reason I ask, is because I've read that you should never top a plant that's in the flowering stage. I tried to repair it, but I think it's a goner. Thanks. Btw, it's not the whole cola that's broken, it's just at the very top. Rating: 5
