Plant advice? (topping or lollipopping)

Hey guys, these babies of mine are almost 3 weeks in soil and I would like to practice topping or lollipopping!(to focus cola growth on the top leaves?) I'm relatively new to growing marijuana so I would like to know if these can be lollipopped or topped. These plants are actually growing horizontally more than vertically (4.5 in height, 9 in width.) Any advice for vertical growth?

These are 12 inches under 1x 85w CFL & 1x 600w in Biobizz Light Mix soil with the full line of Biobizz Nutrients maintained at a temperature range from 24-29c (I live in a tropical country.)

Help would be greatly appreciated! Photos are posted below!

yea just give her some time, youll get lateral growth if you top now and youll have to wait a few days for the plant to recover and continue growing, cannasutra said it best man, lollipop what?

Those look like a heavy Indica strain based on the short, fat leaves and squat stature of the overall plant. I'd not expect them to stretch too much vertically, especially if they're not under a good, strong 1000w light. Putting them in as big of a container as possible will give the root ball plenty of room, so that can't hurt.

In a word - No.

They look great, don't fuck with what you're doing.

Wait til you have at least 5 sets of nodes before you top. (just my opinion)

When your plant is a lot taller and bushier then you should only remove the bottom leaves that are getting no light. Again just my opinion.

And most of all - Relax, because you have 3 or 4 months to go.

That's pretty small for three weeks. I wouldnt lollipop much until right before flowering. And as for topping give it a go after every 5/6 node growths :))
