my plant is around 8 weeks old and is on 12/12 light schedule from seed. it was around 24 inches tall and flowering nicely......well here goes: i tried to transplant, which was a good idea because the bottom 2 inches of the dirt was just engrossed with root tangle they were wrapped all around the outside in a circular way. anyways the top BRoke oFF during the transplant. yep, it BROKE OFF!!!!!!!! the entire top 6 inches of the stalk snapped and fell off. im an idiot i know. my question is will the rest of the plant continue to grow once it recovers from the trans[plant shock? i need help guys!! i clipped it off at the 11th node and its now only 19 inches tall. think itll top maybe??

You'll be fine. But you could've saved the top you know. Just stick it perfectly back on and wrap the wound with rope. It'll heal. Too late for that now though as the break has already dried up.

Ull be fine. U won't have a big cola but all that energy will go to the other buds which will now become bigger then they woulda without the chop

Like already said, the plant will be fine. It'll go in to shock for a few days while it figures out wtf happened. It'll probably pick a new top (or many new tops) and go from there.

If this happened like 30mins ago I'd try to attach it back on..Otherwise just let er go (maybe try to clone the top)

It wont start growing from the main stem after you cut it off. The point is you take away the top to make it more bushy and create 2-4 tops that will stretch less and stay closer to the canopy. You never get that 'main' grow tip back.
