Nice and healthy looking. Topping was a good thing with a height restriction. It stops the apical growth and redistributes the energy on the side branches. I top all my photos and autos and have stuffed several runs to the gills. I try and factor a certain width around each pot to what training technique I’m going to use. Topping and the manifold are my 2 favorites. The manifold is the easiest for width spacing and future defoliation and figure I need roughly 6” around the outside of my pot because this technique requires more of a vertical need than width. When I top one I like to spread the sides out and I use landscaping pins to early train until the sides reach the outside of the pot then I use soft ties to LST them and typically need about 12” all the way around the pot from the outside edge. I train each lower branch to grow vertical between the uppers until I get an even canopy for better light distribution across the top.
