heres what happened to one of mine, 6 weeks into the grow, outside grow in pots, some dam animal wanted to get high and decided to eat one of my babies, well the next day when i found it ripped out of the pot and with maybe 3 leaves left on the stem, i stuck if back in the pot and nursed her back to health, i ended up with 2 main colas like if i topped it, it wasnt as big as the others, not even close, but she survived and still came threw with some nice buds, weeds are pretty dam tough, thank the herbal gods.
