topped after fourth node, bent over, and defoiliat...

This is one of those questions that only time will tell. I don't feel you did anything wrong at all and the shock they experienced is normal, especially after the cuts. They get real pissy and hormonal when we make cuts, some more then others. Definitely wouldn't worry about what you've done, and those topped sections, with time, will/should still be your two main mains. Even if the main topped section doesn't fully recover or become your massive mains, the LST you've performed is very good and this will make up for any yield loss (again, only if the topped section does not fully come back, which I do believe it will). Keep on bending and give her time. You're doing really well with these auto and the recent stress they went under may be a complete non-issue. I'm sure, as I type this, they have bounced back from the cuts and you may just be observing the new topped section growth. You good! No worries!👍✊ Hope this helped somewhat. If not, I tried! lol. Cheers and happy grows😉

Just give her time to heal 👍 It's all ok 👌 Good grow

Looks good mate, just take care of her now. Bending anything that's getting too tall and trying out below the others, or will start its stretch quite soon. 🌱😁👍

It might, you can slow their stretch a bit by sacrificing the fan or two growing towards the inside of the plant on the two mains your talking about, this will give the other tops a chance to catch up.. just keep in mind that this will also tighten up the node spacing as well. They will attempt to fill the gap created, minor setback.. I'll leave it up to you to decide.. as well, whenever I deleaf I usually follow up with a light feeding to give them something to work with right away... So plan the deleafing accordingly so as to not over water or overfeed... Keep it Green! DWCHC 👈👍
