Advice pleasee!!

In about a week I'll be starting my new grow in a 4'x4'x6.5' mylar tent with 600whps/metal halide light using 3 1/2 gallon pots with happy frog soil and some hydroton. Nutrients will be floraduo A&B. I was wondering what would have a better outcome, topping or not topping in the space I have to work with. I want the best possible outcome, any advice would be VERY helpful. Thanks!

id top them. itl help it bush out....id also get a lil bigger pots....prolly 5 gal

it always works better if your topping, in my opinion. i top and lollipop, bigger better harder nugs.

yea I was already on board for the lollipopping, I just wanted to make sure that topping was a good idea too. How many times should it be done tho? I know most people say leave a week or so in between topping as well. And thanks for the advice too

I would put 16 plants in there.

16 plants would be absolutley out of control. haha. they would all be fighting over light, much better outcome if I go with the 5-6 plants Im planning on growing. I go for Quality vs Quanity

You could fit 9 nice sized plants in there. you should definately top them multiple times. after a month of vegging, they should be a good size to start your flowersetup a screen like I do to space your buds out and also it holds your buds up when they get heavy. or at least thats what I do in my 4x4 tent. Look at the picture here. Also jakabok is right about the pots. Use 5 or 7 gallon. Your roots need more room to grow

well your gunna hafta wait at least till its regrown in, i wouldnt wait very long inbetween if you can, like an inch or 2 of growth. the more tops the better.
