I want to top just 1 plants do I have enough room?

Its 5 feet high, 32" wide, and 2 feet deep.
I have 3 plants, and seedlings just encase I need to replace a male. But I'm only doing 3.

I've been contemplating topping but am afraid the plant is going to branch out and take up the side 2 plants side space. But I was thinking even if that happens I can just put a tomato cage in there and redirect the colas upwards (right?). I also have ventilation is just on the outside door not in the picture.

The plant I want to top is the one on the left that I burned today with the bulb. I'm gonna cut the stem right under the burned leaves, than position the plant in the middle. I have 2 6500 - 100 watt (equivalent) bulbs on the right and middle, than a 100 watt 2700 on the left. I rotate the plants once a day so one new plant is always getting the 2700 direct. There was no other way to really balance it. I have 3 bulbs I took out, and the Y connectors, as I figured I don't really need them till they get a little bigger. They're avg like 12-13" a plant now.

So you think I have enough space to top just one? Thanks! Oh and if you're wondering about the foil its everywhere except the bottom as I ran out but I'll be doing reflectors and finishing the foil too pretty soon. I was gonna paint it white but I think the reflectors and 6 lights will be good enough down the road (if I need more I'll just get more for the sides too)

Id say go for it, I topped one of mine just to see how it would grow...It did turn out male but the growth still is growing upwards looking good (Outside Now Ofcourse) I'll grab you a pic to compare... Nice setup btw....
 
Ok great, thats all I need lol. I figure even if it doesn't grow upwards at worst I'll just have to tie it up. Topping now!!
 
it looks sativa dominant top till your hearts content but you may need to trellis it to keep it from falling over from the fat top colas :)
