Ended up topping the cropped one after all as it went too far up and had a fair boost in growth over the past week. Flowers coming close and they all do look good imo. Got a slight nutrient burn which stunted their further development unfortunately and pushed the large one into flower a few days earlier than expected... But as long as they stay in veg I continuously use LST to save as many branches as possible from the defoliation in the early flower.
