Bend them over as soon as possible., and dont top them. Blast them with all the light possible. They will turn into bushes if you do this, and you will keep your growing tip.
We veg with 1000w Hortilux. Give them all the soil possible. We start in 36oz plastic Deli Containers, and then transplant into 5 gallons soil, and then 20 gallons. We also veg in 5 gallon grow bags, and when transplanted simply cut the bag from them, and retransplant. No shock and easy to do. Rough up the roots a bit. Will grow into a huge hedge. Big is also genetic. We like Mr Nice Super Silver Haze for strong structured plants, and fast growing.
For outside Id use 50 gallons soil/soilless. We use Promix BX
You can also use BIG grow cages for support. Or make your own

I have a feeling your buddy lives in CO, lol. Every year my outdoor vegetable garden gets pummeled by hail. It would be disappointing if a nice weed crop got demolished from it. I'm really tempted to build a greenhouse, but I'm gonna have to use some bulletproof glass for the crazy hail we get here if I do, lol.

Those are only 50 gallons look more atleast 100s. And dam I ended up topping most of them . I left 15 untouched so I guess I’ll be good . When do you start your initial veg ? I’ve been actually using sun and just a regular led light that keeps them up when the sun isn’t up any more running 18-6 . I was thinking of only doing 10 in 100 gallon this year and the other 65 in 30-35 gallon pots im up in Northern California kinda tempted to use native soil since we had a bunch of fires up here few years ago .

No those arent mine. Just showing the cages. Topping can work, they just have to veg longer. Youre good. You didnt hurt them.
If I set them outside, I try and match the lighting period of outside, or you risk flowering to early, and then they may try and reveg on you. Causes to much of a clusterfuck.
Usually Id give them 14 hours light, so its less likely they will flower when put putside.

Basically how I been doing it is I set them out side when sun rises till sun goes down then I bring them inside at about 8 when sun sets and turn a regular led shop light on till about 1230 . After 1230 I turn light off and goes completely dark . I repeat the process every day . You think I should cut back on the hours of light I’m giving and just stick with straight sun ?

Yeah Id try that, and hopefully they wont try to start flowering. Might do it slowly over a week or so. Cut back 30-60 minutes a day. Do it slowly

Can only speak for indoor growing and if you want monsters you need good genetics, veg time and environment.
Even with those 3 aspects monsters are not a given.
That's all part if the excitement of growing in my opinion

Big plants are genetic. No getting around it. All one can do after that is keep the plant healthy so it can reach its genetic potential.

Not sure about outdoor as I've never done it.
Just indoor for me and I'm happy.
I might have a monster growing currently. Well indoor wise anyway.
Blackberry Gum fem at 6 weeks with 3 to go. Done these before and they do produce well.

I just left mine in veg for too long and have indoor monsters.
This one is 5' tall and 4' x 4' canopy .............. taken over my understairs space (monster under the stairs). Red Diesel
And by the window 5' tall and taking over the room, no light apart from what comes in the window (monster in front of the window). Lemon Kush
For some reason the monster in front of the window has decided to flower, even though it's the wrong season.
I wonder if part of flowering might be pheromones because there's two in flower in a tent next to it, along with an auto in flower.
