Topping mistake...

So I topped my girl once already and she responded great and was looking healthy. I wasn’t planning on tapping again but dad, who I live with, took the liberty of “topping” my plant again without my permission (he grew mids in the 70’s so likes to think he knows a thing or two). I’m concerned for a number of reasons. He butchered one of the main colas but seems to have done the second one alright. Should I cut further down on the one that he didn’t top well? Not only this but he topped not just the two main colas but two side branches as well. What will happen to the sides he topped? I’m also concerned because this plant has been in the ground since April and has been throwing preflower for a few weeks now. Should I be worried that it was kind of late to top considering she will probably be going fully into flower soon?

No worry. It'll be fine. You actually should thank your dad for hooking you up with more bud sites. You're throwing preflowers because it's mature enough to flower. But it won't start flowering until the days get shorter. You can cut it up as much as you want.. it won't fuck with the flowering of it yet. You still got awhile even until flower
