You can do anything you want to!
It's your plant! Is this your only plant?
Now if you decide to top it, were would you top it? I would go to the third node and top it. Now it's like starting all over again, ok? Or you can just let it go if you are in a hurry for smoke.

I would wait for her to be stronger befoer topping.
i disagree you are actually its about time. grandpa is right you will have to veg a lot more for it to recover and get rdy for flowering, i would look at LST this far along. Good luck

You can top a plant whenever wherever...as long as you leave at least one living leaf then the plant will regrow more branches and leaves whenever any are removed at any point...lol.

see im just learning the ropes dude as far as i know LST stands for Loose Saggy T-shirts haha
Now you now: You really need to do some reading. There is lots here at RIU or try: Greenmanpage.com It's a start

LST - Acronym for Low-Stress Training, the technique of manipulating the branches in order to reduce plant height, expose certain branches to light, and/or distribute hormones to lower branches of the plant to encourage larger buds.

you would be able to grow a huge plant under a 600w hps, i would top it, and get a bigger pot for it as well, you will have to veg it for longer but it will be worth it :D

that's y it is "low" stress :) topping it causes a lot more its basically a method to train your plants and give them multiple main colas. You gotta read some posts on it man a lot of people swear by it! good luck bro

but isnt stressing your plant a bad thing ??? i thought it causes males and herms
Stressing could turn your plants male or herm... but not LST. It's really easy to do and my girlz loved it too. There are plenty of videos on youtube and other sites about LST, if you are more of a visual guy (like me)! lol I've experimented with most of the techniques out there and LST and Fimming seem to be the most effective for me!! Isn't it nice to wake up to a 600w HPS present? She'll love yoy for it!!!
