when to stop supercropping?

How long should I let my plants heal, from supercropping, before sending them into bloom? I keep thinking: "this will be the last time I super crop... let them heal." However, while letting them heal, one branch will eventually outstretch the others and I can't resist pinching it (by pinching it I don't meain snapping it off... just bruising it and letting it fall over). This has been going on for 2 weeks now. They are very bushy and healthy, but they're getting over a foot tall. I should be sending them into bloom pretty soon. The last supercropping I did was 2 days ago. I'd like to send them into bloom within the next few days. Is that fine? or do I need to wait longer? how much longer?

Some pics:

these three have been supercropped...


This one hasn't...


Pretty big difference. When do I stop? They are Snow Whites from Nirvana BTW.

Go ahead and put them in 12/12 - but I would stop the Super cropping now. If you still have that odd, unruly cola, I use heavy copper ground wire that I bend into hooks - that's how I keep things even.
