very correct sir. However with only a few plants and them being so far away I think that it will be fine in this instance. Unless shes had leaves just die and look like they fried up for no reason then she likely isnt going to.
If you are going to top next time Pirate, do it once when they are fairly small, around 8 inches or so, and then do it once again right before you put them into flower. This will promote a plant that grows with "spears" or many colas...This is how I raise most of my own plants(the one I showed a pic of in this thread was done that way). They end up looking pretty nice that way.
Also another thing you can look into is called the FIM method...its like topping but instead of taking the whole growth tip you leave about 10% of it there. Instead of 2 shoots coming out like a topping does, anywhere from 2-8 shoots may form.
another idea you may wish to consider is removing any small bottom branches before the first 2 weeks in flower. This will prevent them from making small low quality nuggets there and send that wasted energy to your colas, where the main weight of the plants buds are formed.
I do this as well, anything that isnt nice and budded up like the tops tend to be by the second week in, I chop off the plant and either clone it or throw it away.
