A few questions on transplantingtopping

Got some da purps clones going right now, some are more developed than others. I am planning to force them into flowering in about a week and a half or so. Would now be the correct time to top them? I have never topped my last few crops. Obviously I don't want them to be stressed during flowering...and they also need to be put into 3 gallon pots prior to flower.

What type of time-table should I work with in reguards to topping\transplanting? Give them a solid week (already topped of course) in their new home prior to 12.12?

Right now they are ranging from 6-9 inches... still got a little while before I want to force flowering.

personally, i would have topped them sooner... in my opinion, you need more than a week for it to fully recover.... id say 2 weeks, just to be safe.

Does everyone agree with that statement? Is it okay to top when the plants aren't fully comfortable in their new home though? They took a while to look good once I put them in my garden. I could do it now and then wait a week and a half or so.

U don't top a plant a week before flowering. The point of topping is to let it grow into two stalks, then flower. Topping the plant, then flower as soon as its out of shock is pointless.
