My dog apparently got hungry and decided to nibble on my plant a bit.
The plant is about 1.5 months old. Short and squatty due to some good LST'ing. He's taken a pretty noticeable chunk out.
How much damage to foliage can a plant withstand?

They're pretty durable but you should really keep pets out your grow space.

Thank you for the response... Pretty much goes without saying. I had the plants out in my kitchen while i adjusted the light fixture. Had it on the table, hes a pretty big dog. Thank you for the advice though, about not having my dog near the plants, but I just really want to know how it will recover.

Is it stressful to the plant at all? will it affect quality or anything?

Its going to stress it a bit and you will probably lose some weight

I hope it doesnt turn Jamie Lee Curtis on me. Its my first grow and it was my best looking plant. I started with about 50 seeds on feb 7 and now Im down to 6 plants. I wanted to start flowrin this week, but I might give it a few extra days to recover from her shark bite... Thanks for the responses, reps to all who did.
