I used to Just cut the stem of the Plant just enough to get rid of the "fresh" growth(The more neon green top). I have since stopped doing this when I discovered that instead of completly stopping the growth, you can simply Just Cut that fresh growth 3\4s or so down the newest leaves.

So say your plant is on its 5th or 6th node. Take the newest leaves (The ones that are 1\4"-1\2" long. Gently Bend both leaves together and cut then 3\4 of the way down

3\4 is not rule in anyway just an apoximation. As it will depend on node length and the speed at which the plant grows. So take this with a grain of salt.

The method im showing you will help hte lower branches get to even height to the top of the plant, making a bush. Giving you many colas(4-8)
If your simply "topping" just trying to make 2 colas, then just cut the stem below the new growth. Tho I strongly advise you not to do this, it creates alot of stress and slows growth substantialy.

When you see a new set of leaves forming from the highest node on the plant, take off the top 90% of the new growth with either a scissors in a V shape, or your fingers. Topping/Suppercropping/FIMMING/etc is useful for creating multiple branches for cloning, SCROG growing, and height control (although LST is better IMO).
