pinch the top node with your fingers....smash it pretty good and see how fat they get. and start hid now.
Smash the top with your fingers? Sounds a bit rough lol. I usually just take my trimmers and cut the tops and then they usually sprout two in its place within half a week, don't generally like using my fingers because the cut, or pinching, is never as clean as it is with trimmers.
If you smash it....it does the same thing as topping and.....you don't lose your main cola....and less shock and less chance of infection. I stopped chopping the head off my plant years ago....but to each his own.
