Did you clip it off at a 90 degree angle or a 45 degree angle? Try to remove any leafless stalk as close to the next consecutive LIVING node you can. Paying attention to these two things, whichever one applies, will help ensure that your plant wont get infected with disease or pests :thumbsup:

I think you will be ok, just don't freak if the plant has a bit of stunted growth and WATCH FOR NANNERS!!

As far as yield goes...this is how I see it. You might have some stunted growth, which will lead to maybe a couple less bud sites than normal. however, your plant SHOULD have bigger buds on the remaining cola than it would if that piece hadn't busted off...correct me if my thoughts are wrong Rusty.

Best of luck,

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
