LST QUESTION...Please Help

to LST do i just pull the 2 branches that sprouted after topping in their respective directions down gently? Seems like I would have to be VERY GENTLE to not split them from main stem.

yup that's why the low stress part but not a big deal if it breaks just tape it back and in 5 days it will be hard as nails and happy, I snap all my plants that get to tall over to super crop them and they grow knuckles and keep going.

yes, pretty much.

^^^^thank you
