Caterpillar problem

[HopefulGrower420]

Hey guys I'm new to this whole forum thing, so please bare with me. I've got 3 plants and 1 of them had a caterpillar on the very top, and when I got him off I noticed he pretty much topped my plant and got about 5 or 6 other hopeful budding sites. Its shown signs of being female but hasn't started budding yet. Is it screwed or do u guys think it'll grow back ok? Ill put pics below. Kinda stressing bout it, thanks guys! Also just curious about how my other ones look...

No worries...the plant will keep growing fine...same difference if you pruned it.

Cool thanx alot dude. Makes me feel better. Think I should prune some of that bushiness?

Up to you...I super crop which is cleaning out the undergrowth that never really develops and steals energy from the top colas...I prune the tops of mine because I am in a GH and don't want to hit the ceiling. I personally like bushiness, but be prepared for some type of trellis/support when they flower and get loaded with fat buds....maybe get a few 4' garden stakes for each pot...check out @HayStack 's outdoor grow.

See how they are cleaned up underneath?

Ya I think I'm gonna trim out all the underneath growth like yours. Looks like it might be easier to spot critters. Thanks for the pics bud, it helped a lot.

I’ve found that if u use stretched out cotton around base of plant it imatates spider webs and catapillers and outher bugs will not cross!
