I wouldn't recommend topping lowryders, they only hve so much time to grow and flower. Also, Im doing a grow very similar to this, almost same sized ten and everything, also my lowryder female is the same age as yours! So lets see what happends!

Topping is a method used at a curtain age of the plant. Usually after its reached a good height and showed sex. You cut the newest growth off right at the stem and this forces the plant to produce two colas instead of one.

I did it with my sativa and it took almost a week for it to start growing again since it sends it into shock. Thats why I dont recommend it with lowryders.

so can it keep a plant shorter? thanks for the info. thats been bugging me:-P + rep for you!
 
In some cases yes, that all depends on the sativa/indica properties. I topped my plant and it still got 4 feet tall!
 
your basically cutting what would be the new fans leaves from the cola. Dont cut too low because there r 2 stems that will take off from the side of the stem you cut. Fo not do this with low ryders. i also read you do it before you go into flowering it's a little easier on the plant. it will recover faster.
