Should have topped 2 weeks before flowering. But now you will have 2 main cola's and 2 is always better than 1. they will catch up. Topping just stresses the plant a little.

I would'nt worry about it.I always clone my girls just before i flower and have had no ills with the plants that i cut.They sometimes seem to like it.

You should take the tops you cut out and clone them. If you still have them ? Just Scrape the main stem with a razor blade (Lightly) about 1/2 to1 inch up the main strm dip in rootone and put in moist soil. keep in70 to 80 % Humidity and 75 to 85 temp. Low light for 7 to 15 days. Watch them closely

Well for the last 40 years I have been taking out the very top of my plants making 2 main cola's or cutting them back to the second node when they are 5 nodes high to make 4 main cola's. Where I am from we call that Topping a Plant. I guess you could also say it is Pruning. What do you call it ? I promise not to Laugh at you if you answer.
