Burnt top during flowering? (pics)

Hello all. Thanks to everyone here who contributes, I rarely post because I'm new and most of my questions have been answered already on other posts, but I'm worried about this one. If you want the whole details, the grow journal is here http://rollitup.org/t/blue-mystic-auto-fem-300w-cfl-2nd-soil-grow.903035/#post-12514561

I'm on day 58 of a Blue Mystic (auto) - please keep reading ... it's been in flower since day 35, and it's been doing good considering this is only my 2nd grow. (First grow was a bag seed male). I changed out one of the mini CFL to a bigger CFL and it really messed up the main bud of my plant. It was only stressed for about 24 hours (running 24/0), but you can see the pic from 4 days ago was very pretty now it's just deflated and flat ((( I moved it down immediately, just wondering if there's anything else to do. Do you think it will come back or just quit growing? Maybe it will distribute energy to all other nodes if it's done for... I'm at a loss. Anyone have this happen before? I REALLY hope it comes back, from all the other Blue Mystic Auto journals I've read, put it at about 90 days seed to harvest, so I have about a month left, is there still time to recover?

4 Days ago -------------- Today


Other than the top bud, all other buds still seem OK.

I think you'll be fine. I've toasted off a top cola or two, in my time, and this doesn't look like that. Nice looking plant, good grow. Just keep the larger bulb a little further away

Your girls will continue to grow. Don't stress yourself. I've done worst shit and they still yield nicely.

I don't really see burnt tops. More like calyx's that got soaked in water or touched by someones hand, hell they could just be dying off for the next set of calyx's since it's happening on the most mature part of the plant.

Nothing to worry about imo.

Whatever minimal damage was done will just grow back over with a fresh swarm of caylexes. Dont worry. Just carry on. Nice looking plant btw. Whos the breeder?

Thank you, thank you so much for the replies!! Oh, now I think I know what happened... damaged yes, from pulling that big girl out of the cabinet every other day to water... passing the main cola past the CFL's probably touching them on the way out (the cabinet is only about 4' tall), no matter how hard I try not to, (she's heavy and the cabinet door opens only on 1 side. Well, I have a new watering can with a long nozzle being delivered today, so hopefully I don't have to move her anymore besides rotating for light exposure. I didn't even think of that!!!

The seeds come from Nirvana, my first order, kinda just picked one out of the list with good smoke reports. Everything I have been reading since then, says this strain/plant is garbage. Well, I got 5 seeds, so I'm gonna stick with it. I'm only growing for myself, so I'm going to have to stay with auto compact plants. I'll make it work one way or another! Thanks so much for the help I hope more start to come in, she was so pretty on the top!

I started with Nirvana stock and I too grow only for myself. My genetics are a bit better today but there's nothing wrong with Nirvana. They have good, stable genetics, not fire but damn good and forgiving to learn on.

You are doing great, keep it up.
