is it bad to have siting water in a bucket with your plants? theres holes in the bottom of my cups so water can be absorbed from the bottom and top of the soil. if this is bad please let me no so i can switch it ASAP
It's bad to let your ROOTS stay in standing water. If the bottom of your pots don't have roots in them, then you're OK.
You can leave roots in water if it is aerated, e.g. churning about.

if i kept topping the plant would i be able to keep the plant from growing above about 40 cm? when you top the plant do you just slice off the top at an angle? do you need to put anything on it after you cut it?
Yes, you can top the plant to keep it shorter. To keep one that small, you would have to top at the 5th, 7th, and 9th nodes, as well as have a shortened vegatative time. Topping, or pinching, is just removing the top of the plant. It can be several inches, or just the very tip. And you don't need any salve, the plant will heal itself.
Cutting at an angle is used for rooting the cutting, providing more surface area for roots to form.
