it will all be good, i dont tend to cut em, i have a tendency to just snap em off with me fingers, that way to the plant it seem more like a bird snipped it off then actual tipping
are you growing indoors or outdoors?, if out doors i recomend tying them down bout 5 days after tipping, if indoors prolly sooner, i'd say bout 2 or 3 days depending on how much it has grown to.
