Hi once I've topped the top cola can i then top lower parts of the plant at the same time, so basically can i do multiple toppings in one hit on the plant

The point of topping is to remove the highest tip of the plant. The highest concentration of growth hormone goes to the tallest tip, so when it's gone, the others will get more of it.

Top the main tip {it's not a cola until it's full of flowers}, then wait a few days for the side branches to catch up. When they do, top them. A little later you can top the two main tops, making them 4 tops. I've got as many as 128 main tops on one plant. {that is 7 toppings} But if you are growing indoors, topping 2 or 3 times might be about as many as you would want, according to how long you are going to veg and how much space you have.
