To answer your intitial cutting about the stem, I wouldn't. Not if you're about to flower. Most of the growth hormones are located in the main cola anyway, and you'll stunt the plant and wait a little while longer before you'll be able to switch them to flower.

I think your best bet would be to start tying the lady down. :dance:

Anyone else chime in?
