Hey Growmie,
Man, hailstorms can be savage, sorry to hear one of your colas took a hit! But honestly, it sounds like you and your husband did exactly what you should’ve by taping and zip-tying it back together. Cannabis is super resilient, and if the break wasn’t completely severed and the tissues are still in contact, there’s a good chance it can heal. You might see it form a hard knuckle where it broke, that’s just scar tissue, and it means she’s bouncing back. Even if that specific cola ends up stunted or doesn't fully recover, your plant will redirect energy to other buds, and those can end up beefing up even more. Sometimes that kind of stress actually increases resin production, so you might come out with an even frostier harvest. Just keep an eye on it for signs of wilting or mold, and make sure the area stays supported and dry. You’re still in the game, Growmie, one broken cola won’t stop your harvest!
