nobody knows your expectations of the plant, so nobody can direct you towards the best choices for your outcome.
you can top all day every day forever in veg, no worries. I'd flower by the time she was 18 inches tall again though.

It depends on alot of factors..
1. How big is grow space?
2. How many plants?
3. Do you mind a longer veg?
If you have plenty of room and time top everthing and then lst for a monster plant with a ton of tops

Space is 5 ft tall but I only have 4 feet to work with for growing, plants are sativa and started germination almost 1 month ago(22nd)
Time is not a factor but height is, I have been lst'ing and topped once, girl is roughly just under a foot with the lst that I have done, would she be under any major stress if I topped all sites at once, should I top from the top down the stem or bottom up to the two tops, should I even top again? This is my 2nd grow only and I'm still learning thanks smoking buddies

Put her in flower and do what you have to do to keep her height under control. Indoors, you gotta start flowering on sativas early because they just keep going up during flower and it is a long flower. You can top again or not but you'll probably have to keep LST going through flower.Space is 5 ft tall but I only have 4 feet to work with for growing, plants are sativa and started germination almost 1 month ago(22nd)

I would top the two new tops plus the two tallest branch tops. Then flip too flower after 3-5 days. With a sativa I usually lst until week 5-6.Space is 5 ft tall but I only have 4 feet to work with for growing, plants are sativa and started germination almost 1 month ago(22nd)

I feel like I can keep vegging for another 2 weeks before size will be an issue

Well that would be your second mistake on this grow, first being the decision to grow a sativa in a 4 foot space, ha ha.
Lol, it looks like such a little baby right now, like 9 inches tall I was told it would double to triple so I thought it would be good to grow until like 16 inches max

Well I'm assuming you have a healthy plant...I had a sativa dom hybrid that put on about 8 or 9 feet during flower last year, so don't go by the 2-3X thing, that only works sometimes. A 9 inch sativa could easily go 6+ foot tall during flower.
