so i have a dank strain growing, sprouted on july 25th, its about 3 weeks into flowering. within the first weed of flowering when the preflowers were becoming actual flowers, my clumsy self dropped my lights on my plants, which cut off just about every leaf on the one side (except the top 5 nodes and leaves). it also snapped the main stem. however, she still looks healthy and is slowlly recovering. the flowers are still growing it seems like jsut very slow. i would say on a scale from one to ten, the damage is 7. how will this affect the outcome of my harvest?

ok good, i kinda figured it would stunt the growth cuz she was growin at least 1/4" a day before that happened, the height growth totally halted. still isnt getting taller but theres a shit ton o white hairs poppin out everyday in the budding areas. also its a 4 foot plant with 14 nodes, and all nodes minus the top 5 are gone. she looks like a bean stock that suddenly becomes marijuana at the top. will the shortage of fan leaves affect the buds?

You mentioned the main stem broke as well.
Make sure you use a Floral tape, Walmart has it in their crafts.

It's what florists use and the tape is breathable so the flowers stay fresh and alive.
It's not sticky, but when stretched it attaches to itself.
So just roll it snuggly around the stem, the plant can actually grow with this tape since it stretches.

Hope this helps.
