Topping outdoor plants worth it?

So I'm about to start my next indoor grow here in like 2 weeks and I plan on topping them to get a better yield. I then intend on using the tops as clones to grow outdoors. My question is is it worth it to top these clones once outside? The sites I read say topping is specifically an indoor technique because the light source will remain on top of the plant so making it bushier instead of taller is better. Is the same true for outdoors? My assumption is no and that the plants natural Christmas tree shape is because it adapted that way to get light from the sun at all angles as it moves across the sky. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm trying to get as a big of a yield as possible because these things take so long to grow.

Topping is equally as effective outdoor as it is indoor.

FIM/top then LST to make a wide flat canopy. the xmas tree shape has more to do with balance and reproduction. with the xmas shape in the fall the north side gets no sun.

I grow outdoors. Topping or LST, etc all work to create a larger yield.

Any site that tells you any different is not worth listing to as they clearly have no idea. Many if not all the indoor techniques actually comes from outdoor growing. Growing under lights is relatively new compared to how long humans have been cultivating cannabis under the sun.

I mainly grow outdoors... I say top the hell out of them. You'll have plenty of time to top and train before your plants start to flower.

I top most of my plants several times. But this past year I had a few plants split at the first topping site when they were heavy with bud. So use some duct tape or wire to help support it.
