Personally i would LST or supercrop that instead of topping. What do you try to grow it to be like and where(under what) do you flower it?

When are you planning on taking it outside and how much time is still until flowering?

If you top or supercrop, you should give it about 2 weeks before starting flowering, but if you LST, well you can LST even during flowering.

What i would do is to spread is apart as wide as possible, so that the ends bend over 90 degrees. You try to do this as gently as possible, but you should try to soften the stems a bit between your fingers, like giving it a small massage and it will bend easier if its bit too hard,. Hard woody stems you cant bend much and supercropping doesent work on them. This sort of Low Stress Training works almost like topping in growing side branches. With supercropping it would be the same widening the plant apart, but cracking the stem(google supercropping instructions), this requires more time to heal, but will also make the stems harder with a hard "knuckle" on the bent/cracked spot.

Then definitely dont top it anyore, just try to bend it as wide as possible. Look low stress training LST from youtube. But you dont have to bend it all the way, if you bend it a little bit now and more when you take it outside, that would be better if it means that you can little by little bend it wider. And it doesent have to be bent to final position before you take it outside, just train it a little to help it bend properly later when she is old enough for that
