Hi all. Just wondering what the pros and cons are of topping?

I have 6 plants I started from some coota hooch I got and decided to grow some for myself. What I am trying to figure out is if I should top and LST or just let it grow normally and set it into flower? I have a 1m x 1m x 2m tall cabinet I made for my grows so space is a bit of an issue. I am also growing under 6 x 2 foot flouro tubes. I know its not ideal but its all I can afford at the moment! I have read that some growers dont like to top as they like the chunky buds that come from the top shoot. I am caught between and dont know which way to go!
Any help is greatly appreciated

Positives to topping: Multiple Cola's, where most of your bud comes from
Cons to topping: I guess technically if you have problems with mold and pests it could infect the plant, but thats not usually a problem for indoors

there is no cons in this method... it increases ur croo.. in no way can this bring bad to u... look up supercropping... then top and supercrop the new tops
