with the plants stunted growth, is there a way to ...

Technically, you could go the route of light defoliation, and then prgressively remove more until you only have the one main budsite. At the same time though, if she's stunted, you'll get overall less output from her anyway, however you could always use the popcorn buds that the lower branches produce for hash! To each their own it would seem, but I would say leave her and let her grow out. Sometimes they can surprise you when they rebound!

hey there Hundy, i'mm not sure why you seem to want to trim it for a lower yield, but if I had to make a suggestion, i would say remove all leafs with more than 3 tips to keep it in veg even longer until it has the desired size, then let it grow on its own during flower. That way you can control the veg period until satisfied and probably get 10X the yield you would have got from a stick-like plant. Hope this helps ! :rocket:

@hundydundy I would let her grow naturally mate It is always the best way outdoors Let your plant dictate how she wants to grow :ok_hand:

Just let it grow. If you add some nutrients it will grow bigger and become more resistant. As it stands right now you would only get a top buds but I'm sure there are many sunny days ahead before this girl starts to flower.
