If the branches aren't broke completely off, with proper support they will do just fine. Bummer About the light. I'm kind of worried about mine. I have them tied up with the smaller rachet type ropes up to a light rail. The light started sticking abit and I looked and one of the wheels is alittle outta wack. It went back with a push. I'm pushing the limit with weight on these 3.5 rails with a 30 plus pound hood. Well paranoia wins out and I ordered a rebuild kit before I start her up again. I could see it falling in the middle of the night, busting plants and glass all over,,, I know I've had plants outdoors I was to lazy and didn't tie them up properly. Came a heavy rain and I had plants split right down the middle. I tied them back together with some old panty hose. Another good use for panty hose. Any Old Biker thats been around, knows they will also keep you nice and warm, under your clothes in you need it. They work good from experience. Now my secret's out.. Damn it. GL you might want to up any silica you might have around.. Or some B1 or superthrive might help with the plants repairs.. Keepem Green
