Hello everyone! Mother plant is 4 weeks old and I'm wondering if I should be topping it. If so is it a good idea to repot it and top it the same day to reduce stress recovery time?

no need to top it right?
what are your goals for it? if its just to be a mother and cut clones then leave it be. cut her down and make clones as you need.

My thoughts exactly. If you're using it as a mother then it's time to take some cuttings for clones. That will keep her in check.

I have 3 lemon zkittle in total all the same age. My intention is to do a sea of green with them in my 6x4 tent under two 1000 watt lights.

No I intend to use all three plants to take clones. I was going 20 from each.
I have 3 plants in the cold room. Hoping to take the strongest 40 clones into the tent.

oh well i wouldn't top if if you want clones. maybe try some lst. it looks like you could easily get 10 clones off that already tho!

good luck
