Looks like you have time to wait.on the black bucket if you did not already cut the bottom of it out yet,I would dig a hole under it for a few hours and fill it with potting soil,maybe a wire screen at the base of the hole,to keep the root eating critters from eating the roots.
You could get a pound of bud if the roots can leave the 5 gallon bucket

Well the metal cloth 1/2" squares goes down at the base and sides of the big hole you dig...add about 10 bags of soil in that hole.So i shouldnt top it yet?

If it is going to be grown outdoors, I wouldnt bother topping at all. IMO thats more of an indoor practice to manipulate the plant to grow in a fashion best suited for indoor lighting -which is very horizontal and restricted compared to the sun . If grown outdoors, the sun has limitless energy to encompass the plant so you want it to grow in the "christmas tree" shape as it normally would in nature to best utilize the suns energy and the way the plant will utilize it, but I'm an indoor guy and theres always "more than one way to skin a cat" right?
