Thats to bad. For future reference, you probably could have saved it. Have had many times on outdoor plants that were topped very young split right now the middle of the stem. Little duct tap around the snap, and healed right up!

Yea but I think Slater was pissed off at the time so he jus yanked it lol. We've all done it.
Yo budski Not to long now when they hit 10inches, them bottom branches should be a cloneable size if you so wish (worth doing and practice if only in a cup of water and through them away. Practice makes perfect after all. But at 10inches I would top them wait 3 days take lowest branches etc.
Did you settle on 8 tops?
P.s don't worry about 10" being to big if height is an issue, you can just plant them deeper when you pot up.
And I'm on a shit tablet so can't really see but there looks.like the pots.could do with being filled a little more, about 1" from the top.
Not the most important but I sense your a bit of a perfectionist. (If they are filled up..crackalak on bruva!)

The plants are looking nice and happy there Bud 
One thing Iv learned through my trials in mainling is its best to wait for the plant to get well established before topping, just like Nugs said. Around 8" is when he suggests sexing and once sex is known thats when she gets her first topping and trimming then reverted back to veg.

as above if you top to soon youll stunt them and never make mid oct, no need to sex as you know there all fems.
youll have to go with 8 tops as your now on a dead line, remember, to get 8 tops you only need 3 cuts 6 days apart, thats 18 days, then you have a few days left over to allow hormones to settle then bang 12/12 donkey dicks!!
