train her in any way you can, I see you have time. I would wait until the eigth node then top. Bend out the branches and tie them down in any way. I ahve them like that, also I have them bent over and tied at a 90 degree angle to the stalk after the eight node and then I pretty much try and keep all the tops equal with lst until I get like 8 cols or something. Also I have them topped at the second node for four tops. It is funny but my four tops have the same size buds as my 8 tops! To have less tops is supposed to mean less but bigger buds. I think that as I have a higher yeilder (white widow skunk) She can handle all the tops. Top, lst, they are easy, dont go to overboard. That can be too small of buds by resaon I think.\
It is all about the auxins. The plant hormones that the plant itself releases to the parts of the plants that are highest. Those auxins tell that part of the plant to grow the biggesst. So we try and get any way we can to get them all equal so they are told to be the biggest. Read sub cool and uncle ben for alternate topping methods. They both work.
