Broken cola top

Oh no... I must have been too rough and broke off one of my cola tops. Will it continues up to strech or did I just reduce yield by one big fat cola. Week three of flower.
 
A picture would be nice but ive made that mistake once before, if it was in veg still i would say not to worry, but three weeks into flowering, that might just be one less cola your going to have. The plant's way too busy trying to make bud at this point so just be careful not to damage your plant any further.
 
Green: it was hanging on by a thread... 😢

Wannabe: I hear ya! Got a couple of grows under my belt and got careless!! Experience is a wonderful teacher, first she gives you the test, then the lesson... it was the very top that broke off.

Wannbe:
Here is photo. You can see broken off stem between buds. Almost looks like buds are acting like they've been topped in just a few hours. Is that possible?

Now you got two colas,I did this to an Indiana bubblegum,this last grow at just about the same stage.While the two lower buds were somewhat smaller,they were still kinda impressive.You still have some time to grow,and it will probably wow you in the end.Cannabis is way more forgiving with injury than a lot of people think.
 
Agreed... While starting Week 6 flowering, one time I hit the top of a plant on the bottom of the light when removing a net pot from the bucket. Broke the beautiful cola top 90 degrees, and even the stem was cut nearly in half. I took a roll of the blue 1/2" painters tape, propped her back up, taped her up with a couple winds and she grew like nothing ever happened. Left the tape on her until after I harvested her. When I removed the tape after harvest, that specific area was a nice healed up knuckle. Blue Painters Tape does a nice job and is easily removable.

Sounds like a good thing to keep on hand. All I have around house is scotch tape and electrical tape and the electric is a s.o.b. to work with.
