Clones flowered early when put outside, can I still top/ how will I know if they go back to veg

So I noticed pistil last week :/ they havent even been topped yet and most of them are about a foot tall. With no training or structuring the yield will probably suck this year. So do i still have time to top since it was just barely the solstice? The plants went under some stress since the guy i got them from didn't take amazing care of them, and they are just starting to look happy and healthy now in the ground.

Now im at a point where i would have wanted to top them normally, but am unable to since the flowering has started? Is it still worth trimming the garbage base stems, and topping and seeing what happens because if they go full flower I won't get much of anything anyways.

I figure since its only the middle of summer they have lots of time still to get more developed, I live near the New England Canadian border for reference.

How about a pic, can't tell if it's in re-veg..

here are some pics, the bud sites on the lower stems seem to be more swollen/ developed than the upper ones.... idk if that is wishful thinking or not

Those are just showing their sex. You can still do whatever you want (within reason) to them. Top away, bend them, supercrop them, what ever. They won't really start flowering for quite some time.
Good luck friend!

Top away.

Pre- Flowers

just topped !!! this news has made my day last year was my first grow and i continued to pluck the suckers for too long and ended up with 50% bud sites. This year will be better, its a learning process the whole way through.

I have one growing from seed along side them...... i pray for a female for all their sake
