No, I ended up not topping her.... Her bottom branches have really shot up..... In fact one of the bottom-most branches looks like it will end up being one of the tallest.

Btw, that's what should be happening, right? Her branches should start growing up to flower?

yes the lower smaller branches should be catching up now, now hte main concern is trying to keep them all level with each other so they dont shade one out. and once she is placed into 12/12 lighting she will stretch more and you will see alot of growth

She has been under 12/12 for 1 night. as her branches grow up, can I lightly tie her taller ones until the lower ones catch up? I have been 'propping' her lower ones up to the height on the higher ones or propping them into holes in the canopy in order to promote evenness

yes you can do light lst while in flower, dont do to much though just enough to keep them even. i would also not do ANY lst after 2 weeks after you switch to 12/12

How is she looking? She has been under 12/12 for 5 days now, and the stretching has very clearly started..... does my canopy look like it will be decently even?

look up screen of green, or scrog I think thats what he thinks you are trying to do. Provides support , with some bending u can tie down to screen to even out canopy and let lower budsites get more light

Looking good man, I would just let her go at this point. You are already almost 2 weeks in, and buds will start to show soon :) Just think, in two months all your hard work will have paid off.

The next 6 weeks is definitely the fun part too :)

I was thinking of lightly staking some of the branches to spread them out (not the main top). Something like this:

I dont have the stakes in now, I wanted to wait to see what yall thought before I left them in. And if I do leave them in, will those branches shoot up to reach the same height as the main top?
