Need your Opinions Please

i have two plants in Veg
I topped both
CLEARLY I have a lack of light issue which will be resolved when Amazon drops my new Led today.
Now my question:
My lower nodes, below my “tops” are much further along than my actual tops...
I tried twisting them but the branches are already fairly stout and nodes are close together.
Should I:
just chop thes tops?
Or I’m thinking I will LST everything again to make an even canopy and see if they catch up. This is day 38 of veg.

When I LST I'm constantly readjusting. As the plant grows you keep pulling it out and down. Your two tops still want to have apical dominance, you need to get them tied down. As long as they're growing up, the other shoots won't catch up.

To even the canopy pinch the tallest branches in the spaces in between nodes to slow them down. Pinch the stem between your thumb and forefinger until it sort of pops and goes limp in your fingers; this will slow upward growth dramatically. For a bit less impact you can also pinch or twist off just the very tips of the colas you want to slow down and then leave the ones you want to grow faster alone. Don't chop them off completely unless you want to make clones.

Hi Bernie, what are those yo-yo strings attaching to - the light fixture?
They are attached to the studs in the wall with eye hooks and string tied to them. But I did make these a couple of weeks ago which I think is pretty sweet cuz I didnt have studs for the eye hooks to mount them where I wanted them so I made a frame to hold them where I wanted them and suspended it from the ceiling.
