Should I top my plants a second time

Should I top my main 2 stalks again then wait a couple weeks before I put it to flower or let it grow as is? First grow going well

I think the most important topping is that first one because it opens up the plant for better oxygen. From there it's about how many colas you want and how much space you have. I'm just doing the two toppings to get 4 colas on two plants in a 2x2x4. Three toppings would've been 16 between the two and I just don't have that space unless I scrog.
 
The tips on your new growth is discolored. Looks like something is starting to go wrong.
 
How does this work?
It is new to me.
Topping? You just pluck the new growth at the top of the plant and you get two main stalks. If you don't top it's just one stalk going all the way up. The first topping opens the plant up because you're taking the I shaped stalk and making a Y shaped stalk. The more you top it the more it bushes out.

I think hes referring to the oxygen portion of your post, not the topping

Kessje has been around for quite a while, he knows what topping a plant means, so i can only assume hes referring to the better oxygen statement.

Hes a learner, he likes hearing peoples thoughts and methods and loves asking for explanations if he dosent understand something thats posted. hes a good lad

Mkay... well I did answer that as well. The Y shaped stalk is what increases airflow. If you don't top the main stalk goes straight up and there's no gap between the main stalks increasing air flow.

This is the first time I hear this.
With which I do not want to say that it is not right.

But I think it's incorrect.
I think oxygen does not pass through the plant in gaseous state.
But it connects to magnesium, for example, and is transported through the plant in this way.
But I am not a biologist and I will certainly do research on this.

I think you're focusing too heavily on the word oxygen. This is definitely a physical thing and not a chemical thing. I'm just talking about the air that is able to flow through and around the plant. A Y shape just has a big gap that air can channel through. I'm not saying that by topping you expose more oxygen molecules to the stalk... that's like cell membrane level. Too deep.

Ah, I think I get what your saying. By topping you change a bit how the plant is build.
And thus air can reach more leaves inside. Maybe I explain it not very well.
