LOL. Where to start? Topping involves removing the top node. I'm not experienced in removing more than just the top node so I won't comment on chopping anymore. I normally use the FIM technique. 12/12 flip should happen no sooner than a week after topping, you are stressing the plant by topping and putting it into flower while stressed is a bad idea. Wait for new growth after topping before flipping to flower. The stretch in early flowering will put you over 2' even with a tiny plant. lol

Work on making that box taller, preferably with a air cooled switchable HID light and enough ventilation to keep it at 76degrees or so, as the plants will be hotter directly under the light due to radiant heat. Oscilating fan inside the box for air circulation at canopy level as well.
