Usually people top in the first 3 to 4 weeks, when the plant has around 6 to 7 nodes. Your plant ready to be topped if you want to. What's your game plan?

at this point pinching the main stem probably would be better. its too late. i cant see any reason to wait to top at this point(personally im a 3 node and cant see any reason to top beyond 4th node, rather train and bend them so the lower buds can catch up (3th node and up)

Care btw so u dont crack the stem
im no expert

And yes your totally right about topping.

if you want to do anything with them they need a week more, it wouldnt hurt based on their size keeping in mind that they grow first 4 (maybe alittle less/more with indica /sativa reading up on your plants flowertime) weeks of flower. So 1 big cola or something else.
Lol 12 nodes and what hieght? thats some serious pruning and prioritizing i feel almost like only keeping the canopy.
But its out of my league. Not easy for noobs like myself :)

Too late now but i stretch my plants in the beginning with fluorescent, Not a dumb guy who told me so

They look very healthy, great job man. You could try to top them. Another good thing you could try is LST, supercropping like suggested above, but be very careful if you do that, go easy on the branches, you dont want to break them off. If you plan to go 1 month+ more of veg whatever strategy you choose will be fine and the plant will have more than enough time to recuperate and create several colas.

Are you growing the ACE Lebanese? If so they will grow just fine without any topping and develop a very nice strong branching structure.
