No offense bro, but if you don't really know what you're talking about, then don't give misleading info.

I topped this (pic) at 4 weeks of life, from seed, when it was no more than .5ft in height. Turned out to be one, small, potent female.

BTW, I topped this girl, but as you can see, the plant didn't react well to the cut and didn't split into 2 tops, like it should, but it did give more energy to the side branches.

Tie down the branches, top your plants. That's your best bet on good yeild and keeping things short. Also, try and get an Indica dom. strain as they grow short and thick, unlike Sativas that grow tall.
