Appreciate feedback on this and thanks in advance...
Have two plants grown from seed of unknown genetics. Moms were likely either Chem Cookie or Purple Queen. No clue on the fathers. Both have been showing female pistils for 3 - 4 weeks and have definitely stretched. No actual "buds" forming yet. Plants have hit about 6' with likely two months of good weather to go. Their "siblings" are all ~4' - 5' which is what we usually expect. We cannot have these two get any taller due to visibility from other yards and possibly even the street (which would be very not good). Year 6 growing in this spot and have never had them get this big before. The tomatoes usually grow faster and provide nice cover, but not this year.
Cutting to the chase, we want to cut the tops back at least a few inches. I have hesitated due to where they are in their life cycle. We are not worried about diminished yield. The concern is jacking the plants flowering stage up and having something bad happen (whatever that may be). And we have tried LST but the two main branches are quite thick and don't really want to budge.
