you will not have time to top. you could train but at this point i would just do a vertical grow as flowering has pretty much started across the US.

Maybe.But I have never had a problem at all. Between my 5 years of growing outdoor and my dads 40 years of growing outdoor there has never been issues. Letting the soil dry a little more than usual in flower encourages resin development. Yes, this is more common towards the end of the flowering cycle, I however do it sparingly and under close supervision throughout the last 6 weeks of flower. This is what works for me. From experience. Any advise I give is what I have done personally, not what I have read on forums. In other words my advise is not based on theory. Soil becoming hydrophobic should not be an issue. Hydrophobic soil is on the extreme end of this scenario. Cannabis is not hard to grow. Where most people mess up and lose plants is making it too complicated and over thinking. Someone may worry about their soil becoming hydrophobic and instead over water. Moderation with everything is the key to successfully growing cannabis.

My advice is not based on theory either, I have been growing fruits and veggies practically my whole life, and in multiple climates, from here on the west coast to my uncle's vineyards and orchards on the east coast. In my experience, particularly when the weather is hot, under watering is a much more prevalent and serious problem than over watering, that's why a drought kills a lot more plants than a heavy rainy season. So it is my opinion, derived from my own many years of experience, that letting your plants begin to droop/wilt before you water them is seldom a good idea. I'm not saying it doesn't work for you, I'm just saying that in my experience, most people would be better served by not letting that happen. But to each their own.

My plant still needs to grow some nodes before I can start anything on it. I will not top as I will not have enough time to get good growth, but I will LST for as many budsites as possible. Where I live flowering season is still 1 month away maybe more, so I got time to make a nice bush.

Regarding to watering, I will have to do it I think everyday, its pretty hot outside and the soil dries out rather quick, Im not afraid of overwatering just not experienced with outdoors growing and any advice is always good.
