I would in fact lst might be a little difficult as your stalk has gotten pretty sturdy so it may not want to bend easily. But I would atleast top or preferably fim the top to get those branches growing out

Wet or Dry Defoliation
When is the best time to top or defoliate when growing in soil? Before watering? After watering? Or does it really matter? Also would timing defoliation with nute feeding either before or after matter?

So I messed up my timer and plants went back to veg . I'm on week 9 of flower and they look like they have a ways to go. Since revegging do I start my weeks over again? Or just watch them and listen? Will this event degrade the potency of the bud?
