Is This Plant Too Big To Top?

  1. Hi everyone.  Here is my situation:
     
    This is my first grow, so I'm probably starting to do all this a bit too late.  But, I want to top this plant down to the 2nd node.  I want to do this for a couple reasons:
    **Can't upsize the pot (~1-1.5 gallons)  I think a smaller plant will be easier for the roots to support,
    **The main stem is pretty long...very stretched after the second node.  I figure it takes a lot of energy to push nutrients all the up to the top, so why not just shorten it.
     
    I guess what I'm after is maximizing yield/pot size.  Is topping down to the 2nd node too much?

    What do you guys think?  What should I do to maximize yield and/or potency given the confined pot space?
     
  2. why not just flower it now? Are you flowering outdoors?
