I don’t see any white hairs popping out yet but keep your fingers crossed and wait another day or two
better to tie down the branch, i used to do that move u did too but the recovery to the plant delays growth around it Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Don't remove anything in veg unless you are topping. Let it form what it needs to grow. Don't defoliate until in flower, you just shock them and slow down growth.
