Cutting shapes

No this thread isn't to do with dance moves of the same name but instead a bunch of cuttings all seem to be doing well however they appear to be growing in a way I would expect a plant that has been topped to (see attached pic it looks like 3 mains). Do I need to do anything to shape them or just let them grow how they want?

I'd put that in a bigger pot and let her grow. Let it grow to about 12" tall . Then take clones from the top of those three stems. Wait about a week and then switch her to flower. Keep that light close and watch the magic happen.

Would that be monster crop clones?

I think thats what they call it, not sure though. I did it years ago just because i really loved the plant and didnt want to lose her. Ended up with clones that had anywhere from 5-10 mains! I have been foing it ever since. IMO, you get awesome clones from flowering plants, just be prepared as they probably take an extra 10 days to root.

It's now on my list of things I wanna try.
So let me get this straight, take a normal cutting 2-3 weeks from the onset of flowering, root them like normal (aside from increased rooting time) and when they start to veg they will throw out multiple tops? Sounds cool, a must try.

2-3 weeks after the switch to 12/12 is enough, basically around the end of the transition. During the transition they branch out a lot, first alternating and stretching but eventually getting shorter internodes again, what normally forms a cola. If you clone it and sort of reveg it and then transition again you get a very bushy plant.

Not the best example:

Better example, more or less by accident transitioned twice. All those single bladed leaves at the bottom were bud leaves and some from during reveg:
