I've read about people harvesting the top first and letting the rest ripen up for another week or two
First ever grow attempt

Update!
In the 7th week of flowering.
Most of the big fan leaves have been consumed by the buds, and the smaller fans are starting to turn.
The taller plant started flowering about a week / week & 1/2 after the topped plant.
How much longer should I let the shorter one go?
There's very little smell to this grow (i'm not complaining)!
I've been bumping up the nutes a little every day for the last week or so. I'm about to run out of nute so I'll start flushing after I do.
I accidentally broke a bulb (or two) and bought some replacement CFL's. I've got 185W (133 in 2700k + the stock AG bulbs).
Almost there! I want to taste haha, but I think I can wait..

Thanks bruh. They're two different strains definitely. Both are bagseed from some really good bud that I was lucky enough to find. The smaller one was topped and stayed really short.

Looks good man, nothin like free smoke!! How did that topped plant work out, you think it was better than the untopped one? i was thinkin of doin some toppin my next go round. I ended up gettin a half z and an 8th out of the top of the plant and I let the bottom go for what will be 2 weeks on saturday. It looks like it might be close to a half left on it so im happy. It looks like your yield may be better on the topped one huh? Also i found a single seed in one of my buds, any idea how that happened?, there was no male around, i yanked him quick. Congrats homie

OMG This is an amazing GROW! AMAZING! From bag! DANK.
It's obvious as to which you topped. Are you going to recommend it? proceed to practice that technique?

Hey guys thanks for the encouragement! I'm glad I got some free bud coming my way, as well! As far as topping goes, I definitely recommend it, especially in the AG as height can be a limitation. Monday will begin the 9th week, and I'm planning on chopping the topped plant sometime next week. The trichs on the top are looking to be about 1/3 amber right now, though there are still a lot of clear trichs as well. The taller plant is still pushing out new pistils, and the root system is actually much larger than the other plant. It's starting to swell nicely and looks like it's going to be a decent yield!
As far as that single seed goes, it sounds like a part of the plant went hermi and pollinated itself.
I did a little 'testing' on a small bottom flower and got a decent head buzz off of it. Real clear-headed.
I'm officially out of nutes, and I just cleaned out the res and began the flush today.

I've made the decision to chop the topped plant tomorrow morning! It will mark the beginning of week 9, and she is definitely about as done as she'll get. The trichs are probably a bit more than 50% amber, and all of the leaves except for the trim leaves have died off. I cleaned off all of the dry, dead leaf. I think I'm going to chop the whole plant at the base and hang it to dry since it's so small.
The other plant has really come along nicely, and the buds are really starting to swell. It looks about 10-15% amber, so I think I'll let it go another week or so..
I'm psyched! Great success!
And the last picture is what I picked up tonight to hold me over during the cure (and for Tuesday). It's some Dutch Treat, and it is quite tasty.

I just transferred the buds from the first plant into a mason jar. I don't have a scale on hand, but I'd say it's between a 1/4 and 10g.
The other plant is still going strong and I'm hoping to get a 1/2 off of her.
When I get a chance to use a scale I'll report my official harvest haha.
