Yep the sweet black angel was topped once, growing a nice V with two main colas. LA cheese is topped several times as well as supercropped on 4 branches, shes my test baby.

Lookin' pretty good. I'd recommend tying every branch down so that they're parallel to the light. This will allow you to move your lights closer and take advantage of the extra intensity.

Looking nice and healthy.

I second what JayJ said, get something to pull them down, I use string with clips on the stalks, then duct tape to the pot.

I would say both, then place the light over them.

Not sure what your plan or setup is tho. What and how much lighting are you using, only see 2 cfl bulbs now, I would get a few more in there if your doing a full cfl grow.
Light cover on a cfl is only a few inches, so the more horizontal growth and light the better.

But I would guess you have another light in that tent....

I do haha. 12.5in above the tops there is a htg 150w hps and there is 78 true watts of cfls two 2700 and one 6500. 9in high velocity all metal fan blowing straight up from between the plants. Running around 82 degrees and 52% humidity during the day. lights on at 8a off at 8p

I thought it looked like there was light coming from above.
With good ventilation you can keep the HPS close during flower, and have a 2' x 2' horizontal area. Plenty of ways to go about it, if you google LST it will give you some ideas.
My 250W has been as close as 4" at times without issue.

Being your first grow I wouldnt be too concerned tho, I am on my first grow as well and really just concentrated on trying to keep as many tops at the same level. I will try other techniques in the next grow.

Things to look into are SOG (Sea Of Green) ScrOG (Screen of Green) they are handy ways to increase the yield for us low watters...
