Topping photo before flower

My main question is (should I top it now?) I'm 5 weeks in veg, planing on flipping to flower soon in about a week or 2. I have one plant that is very fast growing but has stretched more than the others in height even after I've topped it 2 or 3 times on the main top in veg. See pictures attached...
It's nothing crazy height wise but it'll definitely be towering over the other 3 if i flipped them all right now. Id like to grow out the others more and not short myself overall just because of one plants height.

The one I'm concerned about is the back left. It's hard to see the difference in height in these pics, sorry...

Super cropping helped me loads get a nice canopy and control the height.

I found squeezing the stem before bending helps to avoid any clean breakages

If it is the same plant and the same stem supercropping would be an excellent choice. the plant and stem already have shown the ability to recover and keep growing. Use this to bend it over and let the side stems on that tall run expode. It will also not stress the plant and not interfere with flipping.

Looking fire already! Try it in the name of science. It's really about preference, don't press yourself about it because you already killing it.
