Just a suggestion, but why don't you write back to the seed guy and ask him why he tops when he does.

Maybe he's a dumbshit and just doesn't know any better.

On the other hand, maybe he's grown this particular strain a kazillion times, a kazillion different ways, and he's found that this is the optimal time to top for this particular strain.

...never hurts to ask. :thumbsup:
