Scrogging indica

I have a super iced grapefruit at 4 weeks old from seed transplanted from a solo cup to a 2 gallon smart pot at the 2 week mark. I want to veg it for like 8 weeks and scrog it out. I plan to transplant it to a 5 gallon smart pot at the 6-6.5 week mark. I topped it once already at the 5th node at 3 weeks old. My problem is it's staying really bushy with short branches and I'm finding it hard to lst for the future scrog. I can only think I could top it again to keep it shorter and promote wider growth. What do you think?

Nice start.. I'm still new so I don't have any advice.. But I'm interested how she will turn out..

Hi. It looks healthy and happy.
I think you can top again. Regards.

Personally I'd pull those tops out with lst while the stem is still somewhat flexible. Set yourself up for a wider base and let the shoots even the canopy, then top those.. You want to get it as wide as you can before the stem hardens off.. It's a bitch to try in spread a plant once the stem has hardened off, you just end up splitting branches at all the topping points
