How much does topping slow down growth?

Hey all. I have a mainly sativa blend and I plan on topping to get two colas. My question is how long will this slow down growth? Is it a considerable length or not so much? Thanks for your answers.

I think it slows it down for a couple of weeks. It also won't grow as tall as it would have if you didn't top it. Hope that helps. Peace.

that question is strain dependant. what are you growing? some types of bud react in a really good way to topping, but then others its a bad idea. If you're going to experiment then you should top in veg mode so that way you don't need to worry about it affecting your yield in a negative way while in flower. I top 10 days before flower.... sometimes

I'm growing Astro Queen. Its a hybrid of Astro Boy and Space Queen. Its a 70/30 Sativa/Indica. Obviously I want the highest yield possible. I'm thinking maybe LST would be better? Anyone have any thoughts?
