I had a plant on my porch in a 5 gal bucket dwc set up and a bad storm blew the bucket over and the plant into my neighbors yard all that was there was a net pot and roots.filled it back up with pea gravel and back into the bucket,2 days later it looked just as good as it did before it took flight.as long as the main stem isnt broken and bent they should be fine,heck some people do it to there plants,not sure but I think they call it super croping not sure though peace and grow on
