Does she look healthy/ strong enough for me to top here? This is my first grow. Popped seed just less than a month ago.

Yeah bud she's ready. If you wanna check out a topping I just did you can look at my lilac diesel diary. I topped her around week 4-5. Node 6. It's recommended to do it above the fifth node. I hope this helps.

Rule of thumb for most people is top it when it has at least 3 true nodes. I like cutting from 5th to 3rd node or just FIMing at the 4th

Yes, the place marked in your image is good. I think your leaves are a bit taco shaped, implying heat stress so try to adjust the lights

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think. I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️
