What growth structure are you trying to achieve? Do you have height constraints or other size constraints? It looks like you're bending branches already. Is this outdoor? Photo period plant? If yes, and you are in Northern hemisphere, then it has a long way to go. It will outgrow the pot it's in for sure. If it's outdoor with no size constraints, I wouldn't prune any healthy growth off, i'd just keep training it out to the sides by bending branches like you're doing. Put it in a bigger pot, like at least 20gal.
Just want her to be as small in height as possible. Thanks for training advice

If you want to keep the plant short and loaded with buds, then try topping the plant. Try this web page for advise. https://honestmarijuana.com/topping-cannabis/

Are you keeping her in a shaded area? She seems stretched, move her where she can get full sun most of the day. And topping will help… plus bending limbs as far as you dare. If she’s in the sun she’ll explode into something like this… 
Thank you so much. I’ve already topped her three times now. The weather is just so bad now, it’s been a bad summer so far. Thanks for your advice though
Wow, that’s impressive, well done! I’d love to grow mine that large, but I think my neighbours would complain. I’m going to have to move mine into its own room if it grows that big! Thank you for your advice and happy growing
The weather has been so bad here, terrible summer, she’s under cover from the rain at the moment in the shade. I’ll get her out in the sun as soon as it shines. Thank you

The only time you need to worry bout rain is in late flower
Thank you, that’s good to know. Thought it could mess up ph too if it’s left out in the rain. We get sunshine in a couple of days so hopefully conditions will improve for the girl.The only time you need to worry bout rain is in late flower

Me and herb don’t agree often…. But, the rain won’t hurt her and wind isn’t a concern unless it’s very strong. Let her take the rain. It will help her be stronger.
Thanks so much. I have put her outside in the rain. It’s my first grow so I didn’t realise it was only when the plant is in flower it’s dangerous with rain. Thank you for your friendly advice
