Never top in flower, you did it correctly but at the wrong stage of growth
You should only top in veg

Yes you are wrong and it will decrease the yield

Looks more like FIM, or pinching, than topping, but I prefer this result.

You can get 9+ tops by tying the top down, or top it again, or just let it go if you have plenty of vertical space.

FIM Tutorial (taking the guesswork out)

So what would be the best option during flowering if you wanted to control the height of your plants? Tying them down? Pinching the stem?

Never top in flower, or in the seedling stage.

In flower; LST or Super-crop

i would't worry about bottom nodes to much i use my bottom nodes for clones

only get small buds on them anyway let all the good stuff go to the top of the plant
