Toping off

People usually say wait til the fourth or fifth node at the earliest, but I topped some on the third this year and trained the two tops away from each other and it basically looks like two plants. I foresee having to artificially support the branches though, towards the end of the season.
 
this little one got topped by a hungry critter with only one node... now it will have 3 tops!

i used uncle ben's technique on one of mine guerrilla's gusto, just to experiment. it seems to be doing well :P

They sat that most indicas don't need to be topped as they are pretty bushy anyway, I topped this Early Skunk 2 1/2 days ago and it seems to be responding well, damn thing is my last baby in veg and I'm having a hard time deciding when to put her out, I guess I've grown affectionate towards her, but I chopped her to keep the height down, I'm alternating between natural sunlight and a 400w MH, I'll put her out this week, kind of reluctant though....
