Looking healthy, extra light is going to help ;)

The plants would benefit from better light, but removing the globe does not increase LUX intensity, and can create ‘hot spots’, and is not recommended. You’ve done well with household bulbs, but spend no more on them. Save for a true grow light and you will be thrilled with your purchase. :+1:

by topping you break the "apical dominance"; in other words split the growth between more colas/nodes this will reduce your "inter-nodal spacing", i.e how lanky it is -- which will be very useful, along with the bushing out effect
