Hello growmie, There are lot's of very good articles in the journal section, i took the time to pick out a few ones that will just give you different ideas (you can find the article about topping under high stress training - 1st link) High Stress Training (HST):
growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-high-stress-training-hst-on-cannabis
Low Stress Training (LST):
growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-low-stress-training-lst-on-cannabis-plants
The advantages of training:

Mainlining:

Personally i would begin by topping the plant between 2nd and 3th node that way you will end up with 4 main branches. If you want 6 branches top between or 3th and 4th node. Good luck 🍀 mate ✌️

i top mine usually once 4rth-5 set of leaves appear, you can cut or pinch top off....once the little top is long enough to get it, 1/4 inch or taller above next set below..

I would be tempted to leave her alone. Maybe a little LST.

Apart from saving money on the electric bill or as a method of mitigating higher temperatures. what good reason is there to not grow autoflowering varieties on a 24 hour light cycle? With a limited time to get them finished up, why not be growing them on overdrive the whole time?

Not sure whether or not to cut some of the lowest branches from the plant. Doesn't look like they'll make a 50 cm stretch up but I'm not sure. Tips?

I flipped the lights to 12/12 seven days ago, 14 days in to the life of the CBD babies. Is this too soon? Yesterday I changed to 11hrs on 13hrs off, because I was expecting a lot more growth in the last seven days. Am I being too eager after not growing a Photoperiod in a while?

All my readings and studies makes me believe she’s a female because of the white hair (pistils) around the top. Since I’m a newbie can someone take a look at the pics and let me know for sure? Also, how can I know if a plant is an hermie? It shows both sexes next to each other?

At what point should I cease Foliar Feeding or applying water via spray bottle. I am currently in week nine ad the description of this strain says it should be ready for harvest between weeks 8-10. Approximately 20% of the pistils have turned orange as of today.

should i get a table AC unit to cool room for night temp by 15 degrees?
Iv read that to get the purple colour from the plant i have to get night time temp to be 15 degrees lower than day temp. Im working with basically a 1 sqr meter space and i was going to buy a tower ac unit to cool the temp down Or one of those ac units where you put ice and water

Defoliation - fan leaves Yay - to help with RH and focus plants energy on colas Nay - because plants need their leaves to photosynthasise and better to remove larfy bud sites instead A well known Phd in plant biology is firmly in the nay camp What do you think?

Should I top plants outdoors? I'd imagine the sun would be powerful enough to penetrate an uneven canopy, however I don't have unlimited growspace, Depending on how tall these girls get they could very easily grow through the literal ceiling. Any thoughts?
