I was hit with a bad storm a couple of days ago. Two secondaries suffered splits and many leaves were knocked down. Right now, they appear to be fine, no wilting, etc... I was wondering if I should just leave them be and prune them off if they start to show signs of wilting or should I take them off now?

What about burying the split?

Get some bamboo stakes and zip ties. That's what was advised to me by at least 3 experienced growers. The leaves will still function. I did about 15 today that I could save from the storm last night.

I had similar issues, I bought a ton of bamboo stakes and staked the leaves up. After seeing some wilting I pruined the heavily damaged leaves and continued my regiment. mother nature gets mad sometimes.
