I see; the style of growing your going for requires topping, becaseu right now you only have one main steam, theri are no sides of the plant you have just one stalk or one main cola, the side branching are on that one cola. To do a LST in a scrog setting or much like tomatoe vines with an even cannope, you need to top , this makes more branching to give you those extra budding sites, and give you more yeilds. one cola will be bigger in the end but more colas will be smaller and give you more yeilds, not to mention when you grow one main cola most underneith may look nice, but they did not get the same light the colas did so your product goes down a little, more so with tall plants where the buds at the bottom have lost light intensity. With a scrog setting you have the entire cannoppe even so the light distributes evenly over the cannopee giveing every bud equal light and giving you a more premium and optimal harvest.

hope this helps, either way you got some healthy plants and your gonna like what comes out.
