does topping lose potency

hey i was thinking about topping my plant soon and i read this youtube comment that said topping plants will lose potency. is he right or just a youtube fool?

fool. for best results pinch your tops just be4 u go 12/12 or do uncle bens toping method for 4 main colas

thanks for the help

whoever said that topping a plant would make it lose potency is completely full of shit, may delay growth for a couple days but thats about it

it will make ur plant stay in vegetative state in 2 more weeks.. but that is a good thing.. it will actually make ur plant and yield stronger...cut,bend,supercrop and all. its great....
