Oh good. I think i damaged my plant. I was doing work in the grow closet when my light feel of breaking of one of my main stems of bud. should I just harvest the plant now or lets whats it still growing grow. The main cola is still intact. The first picture was what it look like about a week ago. Next pic is of the broken stem. last pictures are what it looks like now. What should i do.

maybe i'm just stoned but...
in theory, wouldn't the plant redirect the energy that went into that branch towards energy for new growth meaning bigger buds?
just throwing this out there to see why this would or wouldn't happen

yes , to an extent.
soon as the girl gets done focusing on that break then yes she will start focusing on all the rest , resulting in bigger buds on the other colas. the question is , how long is she gonna focus on the break.
yea keep her green till the end ..... it happens to all of us !

leave her alone she will recover just fine. leave them small buds alone too they will get bigger esp now that that big cola is off the plant.
you could have put the broken branch in some soil and let it grow roots and finish up. but now u got a lilttle smoke to test drive.
if anything make sure where the baranch came iff is a nice clean cut, it will take the plant less time to recover from a nice clean cut (razorblade) than it will a jagged broken one.
best of luck man
edit: oh and if any other branches were damaged in the accident look up taping them, or you can try and clone them but leaving them on unatended to may lead to significant stunt due to the plant trying to repair that branch to get food to it.

harvest the one that broke but leave the rest of the plant alone. you should trim the fan leaves closer to the bud tho. she'll be ok tho so dont worry.

not trying to start a debate but thats how i trim mine, i leave some of them nice sugar leaves right on it. i grow for personal use tho so i guess its up to whoever is smoking it. lots og good thc on them leaves
thats not a supercrop?... a supercrop is when you bend your mainstem almost snapping it to grow sideways and get more light around the plant.
it was always my understand that you could not clone a flowering plant.
may be a dumb question but what is a sugar leaf.
Everything I have read says keep the stress on your plant as low as possible. So when this happen I figured nothing could be more stressful outside of burning the plant.
