Depends on your final space I guess. I'd leave them though, look good and low and even to me.

Mine are the same size, I topped mine weeks ago and then LST, they are so freaking bushy, I was thinking of topping again, but chose not to, the center of the canopy is filling in real nice. I am happy, grats on the nice looking plants man.

Only top again if you feel your canopy needs to be thicker! Want to avoid overdoing it preventing light through to the bottoms.

Topping once worked well for me, but it's definitely personal choice. i'm using a space twice your size with only 2 more plants just make sure you leave enough room for the growth explosion during flower. (these are my girls day 1 of flower )

I have a 2x2x4 tent. Doing LST on one plant in a 5gallon with a SCROG net. How many times should i top?

It's all personal choice, I find I can generate all the tops I need from LST after the first topping, But I have friends who top everything 2 weeks before they flower to double the tops. So it really depends on what you want to do / how you want your buds to look. In terms of overall final weight I have noticed better results with 1 topping but we all have different grow styles too, so it's not really possible to predict whats causing the extra weight accurately.
These were only topped once but are MUCH bigger than I would recommend going unless you have the space and light to dedicate to them.

Those are looking REALLY niceWould you advise another topping to these girls? I began the LST process a week ago and now they are exploding with new tops, should I top them another time? Or leave it as be, because in the center I have tops coming through.

but make sure you don't outgrow your space ( expect 70-80% more growth in flower to play it safe )I wouldn't recommend anymore then 2-3 more weeks of veg before you flip ( what lights are you using ? )
That's also a REALLY REALLY nice flat canopy, you are nailing it

I'm currently running a side by side of topping/LST vs. Mainlining. Will be interesting to see final weights. My LST gals seem like their going to kill the main lined clones lol.
