ok so ive pretty much always topped my plants with great success this go round i have a royal haze that i knew would be a beast growing with a cali hash that is relatively short so i topped the hash and LST the haze and im loving the LST and she loves it too. the issue is i under estimated the huge growth potential i used a bent piece of coat hanger to support the stem for the bend so not to uproot (hydro) by time my bush got high enough to see the stem at the bend i noticed 1st its 2in in diameter and 2nd the stem grow around the wire about half way i worked it loose as the wire was showing some rust looks as though it just lost some "bark" how ever im in my second week of flower any opinions on the stress level i have caused the plant is super healthy and tied all to hell and back (managed to keep it the same height as the cali hash)with 14 tops will this undo all my hard work and care with a dreaded hermi

lol I believe I had almost the same problem, I tied down a bunch of shoots with metal wires outdoors in pots, forgot about the wires over time, almost of the stems literally grew around the wire, so it was through the middle of the stem lol, some of them I tryed to take out and it worked. As far as the stress, I think that it is very low, Never even effect my plants at all, marijuana is a very versatile plant. hope that helps, happy toking
