If your tent is at least 180cm in height you shouldn't need to top or lst. Also usually not a good idea to top after flipping the light schedule to 12/12. Happy growing

I would top them now and get those bottom nodes sturdy for training, good time to top as it will give you chance to top again if needed. I usually stick to no more than 6 nodes when I top. They look very nice and healthy they will do well for a top and LST training 👍

If you don't have much height in your grow room then top or LST. If you have plenty of height then I'd leave them as is.

Topped the same way with 2 different results?? First time grower I tried to top 2 plants in the same way but one main shoot stopped growing, but the other had two new growths come right out of the old stem, as well as 2 bushier side stems. I am just wondering what I did differently and if both plants should work out fine. Video to show...

As you can see, one of my plants is a few inches taller than the others. They've all been topped 3 times for 8 mains, but I'm wondering whether I should top the big plant 1 more time in an effort to achieve a more uniform canopy height before flipping to 12-12.
