I might be wrong but I think topping is more a matter of using more effeciently the light so if your plant is already quite bushy and you top for 4main cola you end up using less efficiently your light than if you only get 2 main cola.2 colas or 4 colas is all preference. Its speculative on which is better. Some people think that a plant will only bud so much, some thing more tops is better.
You would idealy cut above the first, or second true node. I'm not sure how well a plant that has grown so large takes to topping... it should have been topped weeks ago so you may want to look that up. Topping usually happens as branches begin to grow out of nodes when they are really small
I had the same symptom on some plants when I had my heat stress problem so might be that but I read somewhere on this forum that it might be cause by PH fluctuation.just toped the babys here they are

on the blueberry and sharksbreath i wasnt to botherd to get 4 tops 2 will be just fine sour cream will have 4 good tops
I feel like that one is one node too high for 4. Unless the branches growing out the top were also removed? Cause you definitely cut above the 3rd true node on that. I can't really see the nodes on the other plant though and I'm too baked off this kush to figure it out
thanks bro . hopefully they gena stay short and bushy, as i got my 600watts mh ill post pics inabithey man looking good i must say...a good way to get a bunch of tops along with the topping is to lst to get as many tops as u want. its pretty easy just tie back the dominant tops until the 2 lower branches catch up ull have 4 guaranteed. Check out how many tops i have on the plant on the right side of my room. I trained the shit out of it right when it started to flower. Now I got Like 8 main tops. Keep up the good work man.

I want to come over and grow some shit in your setup
yeah alredy got a few germed got 4 northern lights and 1 bag seed, all germed and planted them today, they under the t5 at the moment waiting to pop the ground, then going to let them grow a few weeks under the t5 and then put them under the mh. im going to lst the rest so they stay short for the new seedlings to grow,If you wait like a week and a half and then germ more seeds by the time you harvest you could have some other plants ready for flower
Only if you have the space though. You have enough equipment it seems to go perpetual, and your plants are REALLY healthy you have the growing/watering/nutes thing down well enough.
