THE OTHER DAY MY BUDDY DROPED A FLOURECENT BULB ON ONE OF OUR PLANTS. IT BUSTED, CUT ONE LEAF COMPLETLY OFF AND CUT UP SOME OTHER ONES. SHOULD I CUT OFF THE CUT UP ONES OR LEAVE THEM ON? ANY IDEAS WOULD BE GREAT.

i would just leave it alone. if you broke a stock then you would have to tie it too a stake two times, below & above the brake in the stock

If you mean that you "busted" the Flourescent Bulb, I would be leary.
They have mercury in them and it's probably all over your plants.
I'm not an expert, but you may want to spray down your plants to remove any of the crap from inside the bulb.
Maybe there's somebody out there who would know more about this problem that could help you.
Good Luck.

The leaf will probably die when it start to remove it ...

When fluorescents break, the mercury is released into the air. There's only more or less about 6mg of mercury in there, so if you have good ventilation you should be fine.
