I would wait one more node, have you counted the first set of leader leaves as a node? 5th node is usually the recommended time to top but I have done it earlier and later. Plants look nice and healthy pal👍

Servus, If the Damsel Shows its fifth node, the root-network is big enough to take this HST like a champ. Of course just when she's healthy. If she's showing any signs of trouble, wait till she's back on track. Good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way Servus✌️ OimRausch

To top or not to top (Again...would be 2nd time).Should I top 1 more time? I have (Example pic) 4 good nodes at the end of the 2 main branches. Should I top these to allow the ones mid branch to pick up and boost or should I leave them now and just flip in a week or 2? Think they're near end of veg as not putting on any height!

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?
