My favorite is to do the topping before the cloning, so you end up with a two-headed clone from day 1 of rooting. I find this method doesn't take any longer to root the cuttings and you get to drop the extra veg time after you top the rooted clone etc. Just my 2 cents
(follow the two-headed clone with prompt supercropping after growth resumes and you're pretty much looking at a flower ready lady in 2 weeks depending on your size---i run mylar tents and this is perfect for me)
(for the sake of making sensE)
what I mean by topping before cloning is that you take your branch----oh so perfect and desirable for cloning---and cut the top couple of nodes off so you are left with a branch containing only lateral meristems, not an apical meristem---the goal of topping
