Hail Damage To Clones

So, i waited till the end of June to put my girls in the ground....
2 days after being planted, a really bad hail storm rolled in...I am in Colorado, and for a hail storm to roll in this late in the season is not normal. Anyway...some of the plants got really damaged, in fact some of the girls look like the charlie brown Christmas tree (depressing):(
the fact of the matter is that it is a weed....so that means that it should fight to survive....right??
i dont know if i should just leave them how they are, or if i should replace them. what do you think?

I'd keep an eye on them for sure.. they may survive.. and the urine thing, I'm not too sure I'd do that.. Don't know if it's "bad", but it doesn't sound too appealing. You are what you eat, or drink.. lol

Yes urine:urea causes my tomatoes to bloom. Had wife count them: 160 sets on 6 plants. Her job is to spray with tums for blossom end rot. My water is too high so I ph with aspirin. 3 tabs to 4 gallons of water according to @.edu site. No one has complained about taste and I like 47 sets as a start on a 6' Early Girl.

Tie them up! First aid for when I step on something! High density planting in small yard. I can waste the nitrogen in the septic or dilute 5 to 1 and use it during bloom?

I have heard from several people that urine is a natural fertilizer...but yeah, your right it does not sound to appealing...I lost 3 out of the 12 plants, they are recovering...
now my only concern is if they will reach their optimum height by the time photosynthesis starts. I think they have the rest of this month and a few weeks in August....they will be short bushy fucks i hope !! :)
