You're probably safe to remove that now, or let it grow and see what happens πͺ

Show I cut main stem?
Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.

Never topped plants before, this is my first time growing and with the tight spacing of the nodes might have damaged the little growth in the crotch when I cut... Should I be ok or did I potentially damage the yield potential? Should be able to zoom in on last few pics of week 3

Can I start instantaneously or do I need to wait until the stems of the nodes are thicker and more mature?

LST, defoliation and topping advice..
Plz look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going ok so far but think I need to wait a bit before topping? Anyone got a preferred method of doing things? Iβm hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower am I rushing things? More Defoliation?
