I have a couple plants that are stretching more then the others. They are 2.5 weeks into flowering and was wondering if it is ok to top the main shoot even with the rest of the plants?

It is ok, but bending them over and tying them down,even with your canopy would be better IMO.:):)

Better to simply fold it over, aka super crop. Crush stem between thumb and forefinger, rotate grip 90º and crush again. Fold her over. Some plants ignore the fold and straighten right back up so consider tying it down once it's folded.

Should the stem split open, no worries. Wrap a twist tie around it and it will heal in a couple of days. Here's a stem with a split big enough to stick my finger through. Plant didn't care.
