Post defoliation after flip

Hi guys, I'm having a slight problem with my ladies and looking for a bit of advice.

I had defoliate them heavily a week before flip, and I mean skinned them bare. Gave them a week to recover and intended to drop a support net over them and not have to defoliate again ( yeah right ).

Now I'm 7 days into flower and they've came back with a vengeance. Can't see the floor and they're some bushy monsters.

Now, I'm going away for a week next week, and I don't usually strip in flower till day 21, but I really Want to get the net over them asap.

Would stripping them at day 10 or so have any dramatic effect on them getting up and over the net if I did this ? I know it could stress them out and they could stop stretching.20200802_191657.jpg20200802_191634.jpg20200802_191652.jpg

They havnt been topped at all, just bent over and super cropped.

They get pretty heavy when they get into full stride so I planned on putting 2 layers over of netting over them. The netting has 2" holes.

Unless you have concerns about PM, I would just clean up and thin out a little, net it and let them blow up.

Huctonponis I defoliate at the flip like you did, then again around day 21 after the stretch is done.

After the second defoliation I put the trellis on the stripped colas.
