Looking to top the girls today and have to say it’s making me nervous. However I am trying to keep these from becoming to tall. 
Is there any chance someone could mark these pics where I should top?

Thanks in advance.

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

I'd leave them bro. they're in flower already and have offset growth so you'd have to chase it back to the last paired nodes to top and at this point you'd lose a lot of yield cutting back that far. try training them sideways if height is restrictive. Hope this helps

@improper_weed_viking thanks I didn’t realise they were in flower. Supposed to be regular feminised clones and been on 18/6. Very confused here. Should I now change to 12/12?

TIA

@macky cheers. Do you agree that these are in flower?

@spambot the nodes have offset indicating she’s sexually mature but she hasn’t thrown pistils yet so she’s technically not flowering now. When you flip to 12/12 she should go fairly quickly

@monkeydo thanks. Can I still technically top or would that not be beneficial at stage?

Don't top, try some Low Stress Training.

Do top, topping releases a hormone in the plants that encourages it to grow multiple main tops, instead of directing all energy to just one. If growing indoors, top. Just once, but it is important to. Train also, but always top. This is a practise used growing many different types of plants, not just cannabis.

I know this is a cutting, but it is still worth doing it to make sure that hormone is present IMO

@macky nice one. I’ll give the guide a read again in the morning then make the cut. Thanks to all who replied.
