Nirvana Snow White/WOS Afghan Kush Clones: To Top or Not?

Here are pictures my new round of clones:
Afghan Kush - World of Seeds
Snow White - Nirvana

I am deciding whether or not and how many of these clones I should TOP.

The second picture is of a clone that basically "Topped itself". Given equal lighting, should both colas be roughly the same size?

And if I top these clones, will I get 2 big buds (at least 3/4 an uptopped cola) on most plants....as opposed to ONE BIG and ONE SMALL...or TWO SMALL Colas.

Advice???

I've also included 2 pics of, the first- AK, second - SnowWhite....that are about to be harvested. These are the mothers of the clones discussed...I was impressed by the swollen calyxes, especially the SW...and I've grown these before so I know its dank. But I've always been hesitant to top my plants....I don't want to stop getting big colas.

These bud shots can give an idea of the cola size w/o topping....vegged 1.5 months and flowered for 8weeks exactly at time of photo.

no opinions about Topping Landrace Indica and White Widow family strains?'
Should I improve yield assuming effective gardening/light techniques are utilized.

TWICE THE # OF COLAS, STILL BIG RELATIVE TO THEIR POTENTIAL, GIVEN SHARED COLA DOMINANCE

OR TWICE THE NUMBER OF SMALLER COLAS? GIVEN COMPETITION FOR COLA DOMINANCE.

Did you ever find the answer to your question? I am trying to LST my AK and they say to top it. I am scared to top my AK too. Some plants dont like topping. What were your results?
