It’s def big and strong enough to top….
I would top it once….then let it grow out a bit. Once the new growth is strong and long enough, I’d start bending. You wanna open the plant up and try to get most all bud sites level.
When a section starts to “outgrow” its peers, you can continue to bend or supercrop it.
Later down the road, I’d strongly recommend lollipopping and removing the lower 2/3rds of each branch, along with a light thinning out in general.
It’s just my opinion, but I prefer dozens of nice tops w/ no loose/larfy buds over just a few bigger colas…..easier to trim and less likely to get mold.
I’m no expert and am trying to get better at this type of training. So far so good though.
Pics are my last run….3 plants in a 2’x6’ space. Yielded just over a lb….and I didn’t push them hard at all.

Nice little plant but she looks hungry. What are you feeding. How often?
What is she planted in?
What light?
How high above the plants?

Before you top. Watch these.
It is easy. Just relax and enjoy yourself. Let the plant be.

So I recently transferred it to a 1 gallon pot which seemed to stunt the growth over the last 1.5 weeks.
-coco coir and perlite is the grow medium
-light about 18 inches above plant https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VL8FZS1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
24 hours of light atm, 83deg f in tent and 50% humidity
-I have an auto-feed system that I have set right now to every 12hrs it waters for 40 seconds about 1/2-3/4 cup of food.
The new pic in this post is from a plant that's 3-4 weeks old. supposed to be same seed, and feminized. but this plant look different. the new plant has been on the auto water for 1.5 weeks. the only difference between the 1st plant and 2nd plant is I started watering it at the same nutrient as the 5 week old plant.
why is the new plant so big?
Is it the same gender?
any help would be nice tysm.
I'm using flora-gro, flora-bloom, flora-micro, and calmag

Very nice. Think about 16-8 lights. Even pot plants need a rest.
