they look nice and healthy. you will get two tops where the one was, I have never gotten the Huge Cola of a single stem compared to a plant topped a few times but I always get more medicine and the tops are still very nice. You might want to look into LST or even just tying the plant over with string so the side shoots all become new tops growing straight up. ( I end up doing this more often when I get runaway growth in the stretch stage, first 2 weeks of 12/12.)

What will happen to your plants now? It will slow the growth for the tops for about a week, but the lower branches will work on growing a bit more in the mean time. Other than that, it's exactly what you'd expect afterwards… You'll end up with two main colas. Like tokingtiger said, use other forms of LST as well. I always use hemp twine to just tie branches over and let it "bush out". Looking good already though, mate!

Two new tops on all looks good so far. Your plants will not get any hight for about a week but in the meantime what is there will get bushy and thick. Topping gives you extra tops and slows down growth for a while but if you're pressed for space you're going to have to train them or they will just grow tall on you and fast. They look great now keep it up.

I agree with the rest but I would add that they look hungry...N NUTES will give you a darker green healthier plant...g/l

You're plants look amazing! As most everyone else has said you'll probably get slowed growth for about a week and then you will get some extra tops.
