SO I’m a bit of a newbie but am good with other plants and have been ingesting mountains of info and forum threads. I have some clones that I started in a 1.5 gal and have transplanted to 5 gal to finish. I am starting the 4th week of veg. Each plant is healthy and about 10-12 inches tall. I topped once at the 5th node and all my girls recovered and are flourishing. My question is what to do next. I am doing a ScrOg grow...I’ve seen that it is a good to top a second time so that you can have 4-5 main growth stems. What about the branches below the original top? Some of them are pretty healthy and I’m wondering if I should just use those instead of topping again.

I also have one plant that was split at its base to begin with, so I topped each stem, meaning it already has 4 growth stems, would it be counterproductive to top this plant a second time? Thanks in advance!!!
