How many times should I top a monster crop clone?

I have my first monster cropped clone growing and it is finally back into veg. It has 3 main colas sprouting from the old bud site. How many times can/should I top/fim? I was thinking I would fim each branch once for a total of about 12 main colas. Is one round enough? Or should I fim again?

With normal clones/seeds, I will top once, and then FIM each branch again a week later and then let it fill my screen before I flip to flower. This gives me about 8 main colas normally.

I grow DWC and will fill a 3x3 scrog with one plant since my state has restrictions on the number of plants I can grow.

It's difficult to say without a picture, size matters lol.

Depending on a few factors it can be quicker to clone the regular tops than to re veg the full plant.

Here is a pic of where I am at. It's not the full plant, I just took a clipping at week 6 of flower on my last plant and re rooted it. It takes time, but I hate dealing with seeds if I can help it and don't have the space for a standard clone given how fast they bounce back into veg.

I do the same thing for the same reason.

It's looking nice if you're happy with it treat as normal, I'd remove any of the funky growth that's left at the bottom provided it's not going to do much.
