If I want it to ease up on the upward growth and grow outward I top.

I was just busting your balls about it looking like it wasn't in the middle.

Good luck.

Cool.

It's all dependant on how well the plant is dealing with the wind and what your alternatives are.

If it's not getting enough light under the sun roof it may start to stretch out and not grow as strong as it would under the lights or the sun.

If it is getting enough light it should continue to grow fine.

I prefer topping , because I get two equal stems , when fimming sometimes they grow uneven and you might have a dominant stem, unless I'm fimming wrong or something

Top just above the 2nd true node for 4 mains.
Above the third node for 2 mains.
I considered putting a Sun tube in my closet, but opted to have control of the on/off hours.
