I like to top the plant the 1st time after the 4 or 5th node let it grow a few nodes past that then top cutting some off the top you could actually keep that cut as a clone if anything just practice
I like to let the plant do its thing for a while then go trim it after 6 weeks or so then take cuts you want as clones make sure not to cut to far back so it will keep getting bigger
Of I don’t wanna use the plant for clones for awhile cut 1/2 the plant down keep only 1/2 of the 1st time you topped the plant then cut away 90% of that half only leaving a few nodes and a few big fan leaves. Then the mother plant can fit in a super small space till u want to grow out that plant again
