It’s large enough but topping is not going to speed up growth.

Depends what your ultimate goal is but you could definitely top it. Personally i would also remove the bottom nodes to get the plant up away from the dirt a bit. So basically i would leave the middle 3 nodes so that i have 6 main branches and when those each have 4 branches, top them again. That would give 24 main kolas which is probably about all your going to get this late in the year.

It will slow it down but it will also force those branches to start growing faster and she will bush out and ultimately be better off.

Yup. You can leave the bottom branches or take them off its completely up to you. For how far behind she is, might be better to leave them. But you have your topping line in the correct spot for sure. Just be careful to not damage the nodes. The plant will almost seem to stop growing for a few days after you do it but once the branches take off, they really take off.

Right now she looks hungry for light and is getting as tall as she can to get it. Once you top it, it will refocus all its energy to the branches.

Hey @JoeBlow5823 if I just topped it once yesterday after this post, now I wanna do what your saying on this post but I'm alittle confused, if I post a picture can you mark it like I did?

Just leave her alone for now she will be fine.
