Like I said, after 3 and 5, the only cuts I make are for even canopy height in veg. Any loss in flower size will be more than made up for by the uniform light penetration. If you super crop and get that same flower sideways, it's "more and more smaller flowers" but what difference does it really make? When the bud is sideways, the buds all point up perpendicular to the stem and I think you get more total bud that's gotten more light and will mature more evenly. Sure it's fun to take pictures of the "donkey dick." But all that is bud growing up into itself because that same stem is vertical. To me, topping does pretty much the same thing. Bottom line -- for me, even canopy height produces more quality bud.
