hey all, i got a sour d plant started by my buddy in a tall plastic cup that he grew in a mini fridge for a few months under cfls, he gave it to me i topped it and put it outside to grow,... it is now over 5 feet tall and just starting to flower, now one week it was really rainy so i was shaking it to get water off of it and one of the two tops fell over like it had been super cropped, i left it in hopes that it would pop up again, next time i return to my spot the top is still bending over and leaves ar wilted on it and the other top was doing just fine building a decent amount of white hairs, i clipped off the dead top, i am wondering if the plant will try to build another top now or just focus on the one top?

quoted for truth. beware (since the plant began to flower already) that you may get some balls (hermie) & that your yield may suffer. not guarantee but more than likely one of the two will happen. just look for the balls and remove them as the pop up (or if they pop up)

I trimmed excess branches, tied others down and back then one night a main branch/stem decided it wanted to break off. It was going to be a great branch too! Tried to save it with some hormax and tape etc but alas, it was dead. Oh well. There's plenty where it came from! It'll also allow the other surrounding areas to get more nutrient uptake. :)
