Topping my plant

Hey guys, this is my first grow and I've just followed the basics in taking care of her. (I think it's female but could be wrong, advice in telling very welcomed).

I live in Auckland NZ, The plant is 3.5feet tall (not including pot), it has been growing from seed since OCT time.

I am keen to top it as I have been reading about this training.

My questions are
1. Is it too late?
2. If not how much should I cut off?
3. Does it need additional pruning?
4. How long after topping should I wait till I force the flowering process?
5. Should I force this or just let it flower naturally?
6. Which will give me bigger yields? And be less risky for healthy fruition?

Hope this isn't too much for one thread.
I'm also brand new to this forum, fo hi everyone and peace, love znd prosperity to you all. ✌❤

ps. Is she looking good and correct at this stage?

She is looking good, you could top it now then let it flower outside naturally.
Plant is gonna be too tall indoor.
 
Sweet looking plant! If you’re not sure if gender yet, IMHO I would verify female before you clone or top, unless you want seeds...
Look for little hair like pistles at the base of nodes. Im sure there are plenty of posts to help ID gender.

Thanks guys. Oh well, I've enjoyed growing and caring for him, learning lots.
I actually have two others just brought back to me, I have a feeling they might both be males too, I don't see any hairs like the photo you posted, although I can't see the balls like on this one either.
I'll post some pics later and if you don't mind confirming that would be great.

Will I get any buds off a male? Are they good for cooking? CBD oil? Or any use outside of looking cool and smelling nice.

Cheers,
Hammer
 
Hey guys, what does this one look like to you? I have one more I will post next, it looks very similar to this one to me.
