Can it survive?

I have a plant which is about 4ft 7in tall. i never cut any leaves off the entire grow. i've been flowering about 5 weeks and the buds just started showing. The other day, while under the influence, i decided id cut a few leaves off to let light reach the bottom. Anyway, when it was said and done, i'd taken off everything but the top cola and the branches where buds were showing. I never topped the plant so its just a 4 1/2ft single stem, which now has about 4 branches total (off stem) which is where the buds are. No leaves at all besides the few premature ones at bud spots. the buds are still tiny..will my plant be able to continue growing braches or at least be able to get energy to the buds despite having no leaves?
Thanks in advance

Hoooooly shyster!! Don't get twaisted and choppa at the plantas! You're plants probably will make it, unless you did more damage than I imagine.
btw your 5 wks into flower and just now seeing buds?

yup 5 weeks... check out the pics, turns out there was more than 4 branches left afterall. let me know what yous think. This was my first grow, and i didnt give it proper lighting in its early stages. This is why the buds are so small 5 wks into flowering. I think it has a good while to go yet so do you think it can recoup from my cutting or is it doomed?

dude you fucked that plant up.

It may survive but your gonna have very little bud (like a 1/4 oz if lucky) and it will be shitty. Height is not always a big deal such as here with your plant because it is stretched to all hell. What kind of lights are you using? How old is it? We can get you all set up here for your next grow but you should throw that plant away.

Man I just looked at the pics again, how fucking drunk were you? You cut the leaves off so what could get light? The stem?

why would you cut it to get to the lower part of the plant? I've heard of snipping off the lower leaves that usually fall off and die anyways but cutting the top ones off to get at the bottom of the plant is nonsense. You ruined it and it looks crazy stretched anyhow.
