Topping stresses the plant and causes growth to slow. How much depends entirely on the plant. The short internodal distance generally means it is getting a lot of light in the blue spectrum which isn't really bad. Once you flip to flower the plant should stretch a bunch as it prepares to make flowers. Some strains also just don't grow very tall. Either way its generally not a bad thing. At least it means you won't be having height problems causing light burn and such. I bet you'll yield a good amount of bud regardless. My first grow I had a strain that stayed super short even after stretch and still yielded 10oz off 1 larger plant and 5 smaller ones in a 4x4.

Ok let’s do this: let’s find your light sweet spot. Let’s move it closer over the period of a few days to a week. With your lights I would start at around 15”. Move lower about .5 inch a day until you see one of three things. The plant “praying” to the light upturned leaves. This is usually the first sign. Leaf edge curling up. Or yellowing top leaves. Any of that happens back it off an inch. Then measure and try to keep your light that far from the top of your plant throughout your whole grow. More info here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-light-burn%3famp Also if you can afford it consider adding more light. Though take into consideration your exhaust. Can it handle more heat or will it need to be upgraded too? This is a much better light than your blurples and in the same price range. https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Board-Grow-Bloom-4000K/dp/B076QDKVDZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1548035809&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=quantum+board+led&dpPl=1&dpID=4155OYwc2cL&ref=plSrch Use this and your current lights together. To a certain point more lights is better. Happy growing bro.

Hey buddy, my shorter plant was very short and compact for a long time, but it will start performing when you go to flower, don't worry. I thought it was stunted but it definitely doesn't seem that way now. I think yours will be the same.

Hi, my recommendation will be different. I would say, look for a prefertilised soil ( biobizz/ plagron) and transplant your Girl. so you can concentrate in watering/ light humidity. No stress with feeding and Ph issues for weeks

Hey there, so topping the plant will slow it down initially while it recovers. Like athos mentioned the night temp is a little bit low, if that can bump up even to 65 that would help...but closer to 68+. Try attacking a couple small changes, temp, humidity, pot size(if you think its getting trapped in there) and maybe raise your light just to see if it will stretch upwards, or increase your light. Good luck, patience is so hard in cannabis for me, I feel your pain. Why can't they just grow like weeds! ✌️

There is a couple of powerful reason why it is not growing as you would like. first temperatures, lights on temperatures below 23ºC (73ºF) will slow growth down to a crawl, if you increase the temps, the growth will be much quicker. Second, the pot is very small, transplant to a bigger pot and the plant will grow a lot very quick. Do both and it will just simply explode.

Hey man the plant is a bit overwatered as you can see from the puffy space in between the veins of the leaves . The main thing though is that you're in a tiny pot, tiny pot tiny plant, no space for the roots means it s starting to get root bound, this will eventually lead to problems - you need to transplant this plant into a forever home for example a 5 gallon or 15 liter (fabric) pot. Once you do that and the roots have more space it will blow TF up in no time you'll see! Hope this helps ! 🚀
