So i already topped once and i wanna do it again but im a bit confused. Do i top only one of the new colas i got from topping last time or do i top both also will the stress hurt my yields ?

There is a lot of speculation on here weather to top or not to top. Most agree it comes down to genetics. Pictures of the plant would help out greatly. I generally top from mid April to about now. If the plant is responding favorably to topping, I say go for it until pre flower.

You can do one, all, or whatever you want. Some strains just recover and continue growing faster than others. I wouldnt top within two weeks of flower, but that's just a personal choice. You could top right before flower if you wanted. Plenty of people do to control stretch.

I'm on my first outdoor grow...or any grow for that matter...and I topped the hell out of my plants and they look awesome. Just make sure you wait a week or more between topping to see how the plant responds/branches out. I just micro topped mine as I hate taking off more material than necessary. Has the same effect but not as stressful. My plants never skipped a beat. Now have anywhere from 35-50 colas....I topped every branch on a couple of them multiple times.

Yes top the two new shoots. I top 3 times and I like to wait and top at the 4th new node from previous top. I do too at the 3rd new node if the plant takes to topping really well.
