Topping a plant more than once?

Such a newbie question...I've already topped my plants once. This caused the main stem to stop growing, and promoted growth for 4 new stems. How do I top it again? Top all 4 stems or just one of them? Would this promote even more stems, or would this harm my plant?
 
Once growth starts up on your 4 stems, they should all have growth tips.. You would pinch each of those and get 8 ...
 
Trim and train evenly. If you cut one, cut all. Keep the canopy even. The plant will handle many rounds of pruning should you choose to do so, just wait a couple weeks between cuts.
 
If you top the four new ones it will make them V off into 8 arms. Keep in mind, the more times you top the plant, the smaller the tops are gonna be. Also, when you top it, for a day or two, most of the energy is focused on repairing and creating those new arms. MODERATION IS KEY. For me, the most times i top my plant is two, because after eight top growth nodes or so, your nugs start to get really small. Good luck and i hope this helped.
