Yep.
They'll veg for probably another 3-4 wks before they're nice and bushy. Mine still end up 20-36" after stretch. About a week into flowering I top all of the main shutes again.This will give you 2 buds up top and make all the lower nodes fill in.

Yeah.
You can definately top them again now. It really helps fill in the lower nodes. Lollypoppin some of the lower branches is an option too, keep fan leaf removal to a minimum unless you want to remove a select few from the middle of the plant.

seriously seems odd taht u would need more light but since u bought it try it out then next time maybee but a co2 set up and rember its strain dependent so for ur strain u might be have good results but all the other factors seem right and make sure to keep the light as close as u can to the plants since is aircooled

use 18/6 lighting schedule for veg then switch to 12/12 when they are fully mature
and you should get a bigger yield.
If you want you can look into LST. It's all over RIU.
