Hi,
As much as it's annoying, refrain from chopping anything, it will only cause more stress to your girls. As you're only a week away from harvest sit tight and wait it out. Being outdoors, unless you have a green house, theres not all that much you can do. Unless of course you bring her inside for the last week. Trust me, its not worth pruning. She looks great other than that, which I wouldn't say is a huge problem anyway! Good luck with the harvest, will be worth while
