You can do anything you want to!
It's your plant! Is this your only plant?
Now if you decide to top it, were would you top it? I would go to the third node and top it. Now it's like starting all over again, ok? Or you can just let it go if you are in a hurry for smoke.

i disagree you are actually its about time. grandpa is right you will have to veg a lot more for it to recover and get rdy for flowering, i would look at LST this far along. Good luck

I know somebody would get it if given enough time. It would make a great LST candidate

Yup, at that size I would switch to HPS, keep vegging, top, then flower within the next 2-3 weeks.

Now you now: You really need to do some reading. There is lots here at RIU or try: Greenmanpage.com It's a start
LST - Acronym for Low-Stress Training, the technique of manipulating the branches in order to reduce plant height, expose certain branches to light, and/or distribute hormones to lower branches of the plant to encourage larger buds.

that's y it is "low" stress 
topping it causes a lot more its basically a method to train your plants and give them multiple main colas. You gotta read some posts on it man a lot of people swear by it! good luck bro

Stressing could turn your plants male or herm... but not LST. It's really easy to do and my girlz loved it too. There are plenty of videos on youtube and other sites about LST, if you are more of a visual guy (like me)! lol I've experimented with most of the techniques out there and LST and Fimming seem to be the most effective for me!! Isn't it nice to wake up to a 600w HPS present? She'll love yoy for it!!!
yeah i will do. gonna check out that site grandpa posted 2. cheers dude gonna need all luck i can get lol its 2 in the morning now so will pick this up in the morning but thanks so much for your help guys. cheers man
