Cannabis cultivators should avoid pruning cannabis plants leading up to the flower stage and definitely during the flowering stage. The best time to prune cannabis plants is early in the cultivation process, preferably in the first week or two of the vegetative growth stage.
Furthermore, do you trim pot plants before drying?

With dry trimming, you‘ll cut down the plant and hang the whole thing to dry for several days first. When it’s dry, you’ll buck buds off branches and trim them.
Also question is, how do you top plant multiple times?
To top your plant, make a clean cut through the stem, just above the lateral branches. After being trimmed off, the main stem will no longer grow. Instead, the two side nodes will take over as colas. After a week or two, the two new branches will have grown enough, that you can top each of them.
