well the area they are in if they get too big its going to be obvious whats going on where they are, plus i do not have any way of holding the plants up if they get to heavy, also they are kind of on a hill, so gravity will pull the buds down.

What exactly do you mean by 'prune'? It is a pretty general term.

That's called topping, and there is no time like the present.

for the most part......topping=bad.
there are much better methods out there that dont put the plant into (as much) shock such as FIM and LST'ing. FIM=chopping the top 75% of the main head, so that it can still recover and be the main head, just with a second, third ect lesser head. LST'ing makes a vine out of the main stem, so that the branches form individual heads.

Topping doesn't shock a plant. I've done it many many times and the plants have always grown just as vigorously as ever.
