There have been more and more holes in my plants from bugs every day until eventually i found chunks missing (probly deer??). I finally moved them out of the woods and no more bugs or anything are getting to them but i'm wondering if this could be a problem considering there still young and may that stun the growth or anything ? Thanks.

actually minor damage will usually just increase hormones. The shock of something like that could lead to a hermie problem (at least so I'm told)
but I don't think you have a dying plant situation there...
You do need to do whatever you can to put an end to it now though, they probably won't suffer much more of it that well...

Aright thank you. I don't want these to get much larger is there any way to top it or crack the stem to force flower.

you have to cover in dark to force flower,or just wait for the sun to do its thing,if height is an issue you can top.

you can top it if you want it to be shorter but to flower you have to give it 12 12 lighting.

ITS A CAT!!

There are several threads all over this website on how to top. I sugggest FIM topping i found an awesome thread on this website on how to FIM. I read several threads that were very confusing. They were misleading, type FIM into the search engine and it should be one of the top searches in the engine. All you have to do to do a simple top is cut the top growth at the node.
Where you cut it will grow back with two branches. Look it up before you do any damage to your plants. There are plenty of step by step directions. Hope this helped.
