Pruning Question

[roots3003]

Sorry if this has already been answered. I have some White Russina girls in a ebba nd flow table. I should have waited to start them unitl my flower room was close to being empty, but I messed up. They are about 10-12" tall right now, and it looks like they will need to stay in veg. for at least another 3 weeks, maybe 4. So it seems they are going to turn into monsters in the flower room, and I simply don't have the height with them being on ebb and flow tables. I already pruned the top off them once, first time i've done that.
So here's the question: Can I do it again? How many times can i top it while it's in veg.? Does it matter how long I wait between pruning? Any other tips would be appreciated.

i always try to stick with every 3rd node when topping, but you can also LST (low stress train) but tying down branches to bring the height back down. this also allows light to all the lower branch sites which inturn gives you quite a few more buds in the long run

when you remove the tip, its the leafs at the uppermost nodes that you leave which will be the primary source of energy for the new shoots to grow - so you want to leave enough time between toppings to get a mature leaf there.
also keep in mind that topping will slow root growth for a while (auxins stop being produced at the tips you remove)

may consider culling smallest and go with fewer. start lst and custom form some monsters. it can be fun bending and twisting......

not every indica likes toping. but white russian is cool with it. because I´m growing bigger plants right now, I top the wr twice before flowering, with great results of multibranch plants.
had plenty of ss wr seeds to choose a mother, none of them was big, except the males. wr stays pretty short ww like. she should stop stretching in week 3-4 of flowering, so no worries man.
