I just saw a post almost identical to this so I'll tell you the same thing. In my experience topping won't double your yield. The main reason for topping is to get 2 main cola's instead of one (2 smaller cola's then if you had kept the 1) and control the height of the plant. Topping will cause the plant to concentrate it's growth on the side branches making it bushier. But if you decide to top your plant cut it off just below the newest growth and above the last established node. With any luck you'll F.I.Miss it and get 4 main colas.

Topping will incrase yeild, (by giving you lost of med buds stead of 1 big an lots of small buds) But only if you do it to your plant early.

If you top it now while flowring is begining outside you will just decrease your yield by stressing your plant.

I top mine as seedlings so they veg out lots of tops to keep em smaller for guerilla growing, then lst em down for max light an bigger yeild.
