Plant leaning completely over

Hello everyone, unfortunately I had to stay away from my house for 5 days entrusting my babies to my roommate who like a jerk forgot to water them and check on them. Last night I came home and the most beautiful and largest I found it bent and one part leaned against the wall and another part is totally bent but fortunately nothing broke. Fortunately I already had at home a net for the scrog and I used it to raise the tops but unfortunately to put the net I had to enter all the flowers, even of other plants, in the net and while lowering the net some flowers were bending, some I had to necessarily take them with my hands and some rubbed against the net and rightly I think I have stressed and being the fourth week of flowering I'm afraid that my cycle ends here ... in the sense that they can not recover. The flowers were growing at a glance and practically already in the fourth week of flowering are full, I think it fell for the weight.
1: I'm afraid that by putting the net on I have stressed them all and they will not continue on schedule.
2: I am afraid that the plant that has practically fallen has finished producing
3: The flowers are touching the net...what could happen?
Let me know what you think and thank you in advance.

All you can do is wait and see, but I think if they handle the stress of no water for 5 days they will be fine. You and net touching them will not matter much, scrogs have nets touching them all the time. Just wait and watch, good luck, they look nice.

You'd be surprised how tough cannabis actually is. I did a test run a few years back in my 4x8. I have an automated garden with sensors in the soil for irrigation, and I dialed everything back in flower to resemble drought like conditions. Not one of the ten plants threw nanners. It wasn't a bountiful harvest but a harvest none the less.

PS- yucca or aloe are both know to provide drought resistance. If you leave the home often for days, look into adding one or both to you watering schedule.

Let's just say my concern was that this fall might shock her and she wouldn't produce as much as she had hoped even though she was doing really well! As for the net, I know in the past I used to scrog but unfortunately they have to do some work in the house and I had to keep them so I can move them safely but the only thing that doesn't convince me is that I'm afraid that the net will tighten too much on some flowers and that it will damage them in some way... a long time ago, like an idiot, I used to squeeze the buds to smell them well and practically some got stuck and practically started to ripen in the fifth week so I get a little paranoid! Anyway the water factor doesn't bother me much more than that because it's the first time it's happened to me and before I left I watered heavily on purpose and until yesterday afternoon (at least that's what my roommate says) they were normal. They weren't even floppy. thank you very much, i will update you

But in fact my problem is not that I have not watered them for 5 days because it is the first time I do such a bullshit (more than anything else I have a roommate asshole) but that the consequences such as the fall and consequently the net, the fact that I touched them with my hands and again the net that squeezes some flowers can lead to a block of growth. I'm so paranoid because I put everything I have on my girls and I've spent a lot of money to keep them as queens, consider that I don't have radiators in the house and in winter they are freezing but their room is always between 23/26 ° (CELSIUS) or consider that I spent 3000€ only for a water purifier with reverse osmosis filter with remineralization almost only for them (I also take advantage to drink myself) and many other things. . I'm really pissed off that things are not running smoothly and especially not because of me.
Anyway thanks a lot for your advice bro

Should have just staked the plant up instead of fooling around with a net.
My first idea was that but I got back at 2am last night and had to go to work this morning and the only thing I had in the house to keep it up was the net....
