      Welcome to the forum.
      Ginger's suggestion is what started me o this journey 6 years ago. Tons of useful info.
      Have topped these plants at all, yet?
      I grow in a walk-in closet with a 7.5' ceiling using a 5x5 footprint in RDWC as well as a 4x4 tent for pheno hunts.
      I feel that I get best yields when I'm able to spread the canopy out to maximize the light that my fixture output.
      I typically top my plants at the 4th node, ending up with 6 primary branches. I like to utilize trellis netting to weave the plant into the shape I want and then a 2nd layer to add support.
      I try not to allow the plants to get over 4' tall at the end of flower-most of the strains will double in size when flipped.
      I'm currently running some THSeeds LA S.A.G.E fems in the room at week 5 of flower that were flipped when they were 13 inches tall and are now over 5 feet tall.
      That 1st net is at 13" and they are over 6' tall from the floor with an absolute forest of colas.
      It's a friggin forest in there at the moment, so be aware that they can get quite large.
