I would top them again. I'm not a fan of super cropping though, it slows down the Veg process too much.

Wish I could give credit where credit is due but I cannot remember which member said it, but it was a great analogy. They said that an old grower they knew said that they don't supercrop anymore because it is like putting a kink in a water hose. After i thought about it it makes sense.
I think you should give LST a try. It will open your plant up for more light to the lower parts of your plant and it will also increase your yields.

I just used some normal string you can get at any hardware store but it was sort of a pain to tie/tape it down. They sell wire that's padded with foam specifically for plant training but it's going to be more expensive. That stuff is probably your best bet though tbh.

I've used standard pipe cleaners up until this year when I had a learning experience with them outdoors. I used a pipe cleaner to stake the base of a tomato plant and it actually started eating into the plant once the pipe cleaner started rusting. I've had zero problems with them indoors. Search garden soft ties on amazon. That or the like is what I'm going to

I like the analogy but don't find it to hold true.
I would compare it more to a broken bone. It develops thicker and stronger where the break heals.
I love super cropping more than any other training.
I like 4 tops, super cropped twice to form something like a swastika, for plant formation reasons, not political ones

^this. the stem forms a knot if the supercropping is done correctly, and that knot allows more sap to flow through that area, so the section above the knot is getting more nutes, not less.

I wouldn't top it or anythink, looks like a good plant to just leaf tuck and keep flower sites above fan leafs, canopy should stay evenTop again and then super crop or just super crop them and after 2 weeks switch to flower.
