on average what is the least weight of the main cola (lemon kush). accidentally broke the stem for the main cola so i now have around 6 to 7 main branches with cola sites remaining. what would happen now? i know I've lost the cola that would make my plant look like a christmas tree. what is the percentage of weight i would lose on harvest
main cola stem broke 1st week of flower

You lose no weight. If theoretically your plant gets everything it needs and you have skills, the plant will simply redistribute whatever weight would have been produced on that cola Minus what was already produced and including a lag period for regeneration. Let's say the stick that broke off had 5% bud weight because it wasn't filled out yet; you lose that 5%. The remaining 95% potential bud would then magically appear on fatter tertiary colas. Likewise, if you were to trim all that crap popcorn bud on the lower 1/3 of the plant, whatever energy would have went to those crappy flowers would be redistributed upward to the colas you WANT fattened.
Ah, pruning a weed. Isn't it wonderful? Thing about how hedges work. You mow em down into a block or sphere with a jagged saw only to have them grow back wily and crazy within a month.

bummer! at least it happened in the flip though. Any later and that would have been a major shock to your lady. Can you tie the remaining cola's down, try and even them out? you need to get those hormone levels back into range. Make the remaining stalks all fight for that number one spot. Doing so will get those remaining bud sites more hormones ,Thus pushing your harvest weight back up! Good luck to ya

you will get 5-7 strong cola's - just go with the grow - no re-vegiation - marijuana is a strong plant and is very hard to kill ! God made it that way !!!!!

You you won't lose "weight" per say. Unless that apex bundle was Huge. That lost cola is a blessing, the flow of nutes from that cola will be redirected to other bud site and fatten them up. I train mine to grow colas, then once they're fat enough and in flower I'll cut it. Make big clusters instead of popcorns.
