I have an AK48 plant that got a little too close to the light. (I have since moved it to a larger location).

Anyway the top buds that got close to the light are clearly damaged (stubby dried out looking pistils), and the leaves immediately surrounding it show burn damage.

All the other buds are big and beautiful and doing great.

Should I leave the damaged material in place (where it is sucking up/blocking valuble lumens) or cut it away so the buds below can absorb the light. I realize this will cause a shock to the plant.

I'm 3 weeks into flowering, Using an ebb and flow system and 600 watt HPS.

Thanks!
