Well... I guess I could still top my biggies but they're already so damn tall, thanks to everyone for the advice, it seems I can still cut but all my ladies are starting to stagger at the internodes and there is sooo much buddage potential in the "peak" of the plant, I didn't have much time in May and June to manicure my plants, my biggest concerns were water, nutrients and keeping the local flora in check around my babies, a week here and a week there and now they're monsters, (killer weather this year) I'm getting lazy... I think I'll just let 'em go... But I'm really pleased with my topped and LST plants, much more interesting and so stout, I want bushes, not trees!
