Yea many people do top theirs. I prefer to not to but by all means im not hating on topping, I just don't like taking the risk of turning them hermie. I know it doesn't happen the majority of the times, just I would rather not risk. Those plants look crazy! 25-30 tops is crazy man +rep to you back

You don't really have to use the "technique" so to say now that they are that big. All you really need to do is tie them down just a little bit. I wouldn't tie your buds to where they are facing down, because that would probably break the stalk being as they are 6 foot, but just tie them over to the side. They should turn up towards the light and buy you enough time to finish flowering. However, I've never had to tie down a fluffy budding plant, and I'm unsure as to if the buds will turn up towards the light but they should. Good luck man hopefully this helps.

Used 3 clones rootbound in party clones placed in side ways placed the middle one first then placed the next one on the side of the first one but root base on the opposite side same thing for other clone. all in a 7.5 gal container of subcools super soil
 
Awesome job man. Those look really good and I've always wondered how a couple plants would do in the same big pot +rep to you great lst job
 
I've always topped my plants, often times heavily, and never had a hermie. My experience tells me that its not as high risk as you might think.

LST is without a doubt the best way to maximize yeild. I continue to tie back branches (sometimes to keep them upright during the later stages) all the way through flower. My canopy at the moment across my 4 plants consists of about 50-60 colas in total all at equal heights getting prime light. Its a beautiful thing.

Yep man topping does work and I'm sure it has worked for you just I personally prefer not to take the risk, no matter how big or small it might be. It sounds like you got a pretty good grow going on 50-60 tops is impressive. Thanks for the input man (:
 
Yeah its a good amount and it looks the part but to be honest i think its a few too many tops for just 4 plants. Alot of the stems are pretty thin due to the topping, next time i'll only do it on the main branches which are thick enough to handle it.

Anyway, thanks for posting. The importance of LST in increasing yield is so obvious i'm amazed at how few people actually do it.
 
lol well 150 cola formations around there i beleive in the room now heres 2 early veg shots 0913001450(2).jpg0913001449.jpg
