Aaaaaah. Just came back this afternoon to find my light had slipped from its fixing (not sure how) and had fallen on top of my plant crushing and burning it. Its about 16-18 days old, indoor grow using a single 125watt bulb(bastard thing). Its only my first grow.
More than half of it is untouched, but the top of the stalk and all the new growth and leaves are gone. Iv carefully pruned the burned bits off (not sure if this was the right thing to do, but it seemed like unhealthy dead weight) and whats left is still looking alright at the moment, but what are the chances of it surviving? Is the shock likely to kill it?
Also is there anything i can do to increase its chances? ill try to upload some pictures, but its not working at the moment.
Any help appreciated

. I can't believe of all the things that could happen it was this. Its been going really well so far. my mates are all having a go too and even after the 'topping' mines by far the biggest and healthiest. Hopefully it'll man it through.
my advice is too keep constant watch on its health and if it is leaning over jus add a little soil to the bottom of the stalk to strengthen its overall gravity.
Its been happening from the inception of the closet grow.
