The general rule on pruning is this:
-Don't top within the last 2 weeks before you begin flower.
-Avoid removing fan leaves at ALL
-Spindly, low side branches that get no light can be removed at any time, and the palnt will baely notice their absence.
So do the topping right away, and then allow 2 weeks' recovery. The other stuff isn't time-sensitive, as it does not have a significant effect on the hormone distribution wihtin the plant.
