Herbieanswered grow question 4 years ago From one noob to another, only a few under my belt but I will tell you what I have learnt so far.
There isn't much difference in yield topping or not.
But......
can be beneficial in many ways.
if you have limited space, topping will certainly shorten out the plant.
topping will also even out buds so you'll have similar size buds as opposed to one big one a few medium.
whatever you decide don't be afraid of damaging her. snaps heal, ( its even a technique I use myself called super cropping) accidents will happen but unless your crazy shell fight on.
