I am growing with cfls and burned the brand new buds . My plants are into there second week of flowering (2 weeks since sex shown) unknown strain it is topped and will eventually have 4 main colas. One of the colas came into contact with my cfls and got singed . I have burned before but never at this early bud stage. Is there any thing I should do? or just watch it. I am curious if it will beef up that bud site to repair itself ...
I am a less is more grower they are weeds they can take a beating, but if this is bad let me know.

you gotta basically press the plant against the bulb to burn with a CFL, make sure you've got adequate air exchange in the grow space and you typically won't run into any heat issues with CFLs

There is really nothing to do about burnt buds.. just try not to let it continue to burn. The bud may grow differently if the burn was bad.

more singed than burned not too bad. They did press up against the light the plants were stretching quicker than I was moving the lights and it grew into the bulb. Thanks for the advice, I am happy that I really do not have to do anything about it.
