you prob already know but the main reason to top is to change the growth structure of the plant as a whole. thats why you grow to around 8 nodes, top the plant (leaving 4 usually) so that they become the dominant colas. chopping the top off that would just be butchering it (and not a great spot to get your clones from anyway as they take a while to root from the top of the plant. but your going to leave it alone anyway aren't you ;)
I only take the growing tip usually, I was into fimming where you cut about 2/3 of the tip but some would end up with 3 tops others would have 4 but L.S.T is the way to go I reckon

yeah not a fan of fimming. too much chaos. since I'm going to give perpetual small plants a go for a while I wont be doing anything more than light LST for the foreseeable future

Thats genetics more than anything. I've smoked really top grade buds that guys have done in pure hydro a lot better than what most guys that grow in soil,genetics and grower skill are the biggest factors to growing I'd say
