You should have been running the taller stems under the net outwards until just the tips poke out. This will clear the lower areas to grow up. This way you build a canopy that is broad and many buds can reach for the lights. You can top them but the plant will not like that many of the primary stems getting axed and may stall for a bit.
But yer in veg. Just time at this point until you flip.

Super-cropping is an alternative to topping. This will allow you to get the branching running horizontal so you can weave it through the net. Be careful though. Super-cropping is a more advanced technique that must be executed correctly. It's easy to break a branch if you get in a hurry.

Just rub massage the stem between your thumb and your index finger until the stem softens enough to bend over so it can be weaved through the net. Repeat until you have all branching running horizontal.

I'm still debating I kind of want to top those four cause i grew a few plants with this strain and it gets crazy tall consistently. Maybe I could do two tops at a time and see how it's recovering, wait a few days before doing the next two. I'm debating. If I wind up super cropping I might wait till it grows a little taller then using magnetic hooks at the sides to bend and shorten I usually wind up doing in the abby. I just know from past experiences with this box it's gonna hit the light again. I usually wind up super cropping in the abby to avoid the light. But i'm aiming on a shorter plant this time so idm taking longer to flower. But I did move one top under the net to spread out, test it but I feel like that winds up blocking more of the under growth a bit more then from the light so kept it as it is for the moment.

Topping is not a bad idea. It will certainly do what you want it to do. However, just like @JIMKSI64 stated, it will likely slow them down temporarily. This is fine if you're willing to wait for new growth to occur before flipping to 12/12 for your flower cycle. Where people get in trouble with topping is they get impatient and don't allow that extra time. Topping is easier than attempting super-cropping especially if you've never super-cropped before.

I'd view super-cropping as an option. However, it may not be the best option for you.

I don't even drop the net until they recover from topping. Once I see new shoots. Then I swolly bring the net down.
Starting on one of the back sides, putting them where I want them. Work the way to the front. I suggest just getting the top shoots at first, just barely above the net. Show them the light, in about 8-10 days re adjust then bring the net down.
