Your English is fine.

Topping during flowering doesn't make sense to me since you'd be cutting your top bud off.

Do not top during flowering.
Top during Vegging.

When during veg? Im going into flowering in a couple days.

Is the verdict out on topping or is it decidedly beneficial?

I think everyone agrees that topping makes more tops and also makes the plants bushier. The question would be when you top and if you like more smaller buds or fewer larger top buds.

yes, i know i should top during veg, and i did. but i had small accident. the hot glass hanged below hps fell down on my plant and few buds got burnt so i had to cut them off. will it injure her? break(stop) flowering or something?

EDIT
they won't become weaker for sure.

i don't know for sure - but my guess would be that the yield will be greatly reduced where the plants were burned but the bud may grow around the damaged area.

again - not sure.

i hope you're wrong
lolasplants: when you are going into flowering in a couple days (you have SOG i suppose) topping is useless.
