the first link has a how to description. basically you just pinch off (literally with your hand) the main growth tip above the last node. its really simple

Also, you have a choice of Topping or Fimming Apparently Fimming accomplishes the same thing with less stress, topping would be better to do on the highest part of the plant if you were trying to get the bottom branches to catch up a bit.

Don't top those till you got about 4-5 new sets of leaves probably 2 weeks away

That's the same plant, day by day...

Oh I see, it wont be worth topping it till you get those new leaves to catch up, looks to me like you need more light, what kind/how much light you have now?
