Top away, I'm a topping nut, I can't help myself. I pinch the tops off right up until about 10 days before I flip. I want the 2 shoots under my topping to produce small branches, elongating the top buds. If I top and flip I get 2 smaller pine cone sized buds where I toppedThis is pretty relieving for me, so thank you.
I appreciate what you're saying, but I still don't fully understand. Can you point out where there's light stress in my pics? I'm not sure what to look for in that regard.
I've never really been much of a gardener, and never really had anyone who could show me the basics, so I've been solely going by things I've read online, youtube videos, and now this forum. And while there's lots of great information, sometimes it just doesn't click until I can see/feel it in person.
Anyway, here's a pic this morning. I did some more LST'ing, so hopefully I'm doing okay with it.

So, from what I'm experiencing/seeing, training topped plants is a ton easier than non-topped in regards to getting the bud sites out from under the foliage.
Think it would be too late to top the 2 left plants? I plan on flipping at the end of the month to a 12/12 cycle. Would those 2 recover fast enough and would it be worth it at this point, or just ride it out?
