I gave MJ this week to grow a bit more before i cut her. I cutted above the 3rd nodi and took off the leaves at 1st and 2nd. I used some wire to form a Manifold. I hope she recovers quick from this HST.
It will help if you leave a little more of the stem when you top. Also I use a ziptie to prevent splitting. It works above or below the node. hope that helps. Check out my GD to see.
