im 15 days in, some are way ahead of others so i was thinkin of topping the monsters soon mayb not the smaller ones, any advice?????
Yeah u can top them no problem. Might slow growth for a few days but that's about it. I would actually recommend fimming. Seems like its less stress on the plant cuz ur cutting less off. I fimmed my plants at about the same size as urs and they are doing wonderful. Check out my grow in my signature

Good idea, I like to wait until there's at least 6 nodes and then top right above the 3rd or 4th, but you can do it anywhere.

Fimming a marijuana plant
Fimming is actually no different than topping, what fimming does is virtually the exact same thing only your leaving part of the new growth. This only takes of part of the new growth and actually topping the very very new growth which is very hard to see.
What this ends up doing is making it seem as if your getting 4 new tops right next to eachother when its actually only 2 at the very top (like topping) but since it was cut so closely to the next newest set of fanleaves 2 branches which would have formed there anyways seems to make it look like there is 4 new tops. Fimming can be easily performed on sativas (or any hybrids of sativa cannabis seeds crosses) as they tend to grow longer and less dense stems, which is usefull for such precise procedure.
