I have done both and it really depends on your height limit...if height is a problem I would super crop...if height is not a problem then i would top them ...they both have their benefits i think its really a personal choice

if i was you, and the plant was that big, i would "FIM" it.

LST all the way..no stunting of new growth, but lower branches still come up to form tops. Only con is the new growth doesnt split like when you top it.

I have done FIM as well and worked well seemed like less stress than topping

all the techniques are pretty simple...FIM just pinch off the newest top or use sharp clean scissors and cut it off...it pretty simple...or you can top and use the cutting for clones
