I've never considered cutting the best and continuing with flowering the stuff below.
Is worth bothering with?
Does it take long to make the flowers underneath hard nuggets, I don't know anyone that's tried it and i've never read one way or other if it's worth doing?
 
I've had it recommended to me multiple times with people claiming good results. Normally the recommendation seems to be an extra week or two to fully ripen the bottom but I haven't tried it personally (mostly time/lazy issue)

You could or you could make sure there is no bottom half to consider on the next run

It's near impossible I'm afraid, I'm unable to get into the tent at all, the ones at the doors aren't to bad but probably room for improvement?
Here's is my conundrum, I don’t want to strip right the way up then the top not to gain extra weight?

I'm sometimes grateful for the lower stuff I'm actually smoking it atm I also extract the oil, these are all secondary of course, if I could get the same weight in prime bud then I'd make sure it was stripped in future?

So like @spliffendz said, the real fix is not having a "bottom half" and let your plants put their effort into just the buds that will fully develop....

So at a glance you could do more work on training. Looks like you didn't do LST before they hit the mesh? Either way... you can totally try cutting just the top buds and letting the rest mature, what will it hurt?

Your right enough I didn't intend to net them, 9 plants is to many for me, initially I intended a quick turn around with minimal effort, I'm just getting back into growing and need a couple of mothers and a stash lol.
I like to work with 4 but I'm considering only one huge plant instead of 4 but only when I've got a stash and a couple of decent mothers.

The 9 ended up being 8 (I've still a clone) and a net over them on the 3rd week brought them under control a bit, I really messed up trying to flower 9
Anyways I'm on week 7 and have a clone from each plant so I'm getting there.

And I thought I ended up with too many plants in my tent with 6 lol.... that's feeling a bit more cramped than I would have wanted/I had to flip earlier than I would have wanted.

You need to do it in veg. It becomes much easier that way.
 
Every time I fix the net to the tent frame I effectively lock myself out of the tent, next time around I'll have the plants screened individually, and in the near future I plan to cut it back to one plant.

I'm sick not being able to tend to them how I like, I can't leave the tent open for light and smell so everything has to be done at speed or gets half done, screened individually and one plant will let me get into the tent and sit with T and a joint and get them all perfect lol
