Sorry to say but the real answer is it will grow but will be stunted badly, It will never recover and will kinda just stay real small. Sorrry. You cant even do that to a seedling it will never recover if the roots tear. My advice is to apply a rooting gel and maybe that would work, you need new roots because the old ones will never recover.

Yes if it ends up being female..having major stress like that can cause it to go male. It should survive if you still have some roots but its going to need a lot of TLC. You need lots of light for bud and good nutes! I don't think you are suppose to nute for awhile after doing something like that one of the more experienced growers might be able to answer that though.
