Robertsanswered grow question 4 years ago In a situation like that it's almost better to just pinch the stem causing lighter stress under bud sites. The plant will send extra nutrients to repair and flowers there will recieve extra nutrients to get bigger. Hst like shown I only use if height is a issue after stretching. Stem will take up to a week to recover and form a knuckle there. Good luck and happy growing 🌲🌲🌲👊💨💨💨
