Welcome to RIU.

They look healthy. Nice color.

They should start flowering in another 2 to 3 weeks. I wouldn't full on top them at this point. I would put some more garden stakes at angles and spread the existing tops out to the sides. Maybe FIM the tallest tips. To each his own. That's just my opinion.

Hey man, if you're seeing pistils I would leave them. If you're not, then feel free to top.

That's how I go about it at least.

The pics I previously posted were from the day I spread that plant out. Now it's a couple days later and it looks like these pics. I wouldn't top anymore. Just spread it out.

Allows more light in the canopy, and the new shoots lower on the branches, the ones shaded by the upper fan leaves, will get more light and grow up faster and produce more. The idea is to increase the area of the canopy that is exposed to direct light.
