Hi guys so I was wondering on tips to slowing plant growth, I’ve been super cropping, LST and topping as much as I can because I’m waiting on plants I recently planted to catch up to the height before I flip to flower I was wondering if I cut a main branch off half way will it be affective? Any tips or trick will do thanks!

Look into caring for mother plants. All the tricks are associated.
Cooler temps especially at night, low wattage lighting, feeding lightly, etc.
I put my shorties on blocks to elevate. Has worked just fine so far
Sure, you can lop off an upper section of a main branch. Stripping off extra fan leaves will also slow growth on that branch, for a while. I’m guessing you’ve pulled the branches down as much as you can using the rubber-wrapped wire, so that they grow out at as much of an angle as you can? Assuming you’ve done all this, I’d just put the shorter ones on blocks or some sort of riser, like SunnyinBectopia suggested. That’s what Ive always done when training methods just couldn’t get me where I wanted too be. Sometimes you just can’t do anything else to have that even canopy. Remember, some plant stretch more than others. So, it’s possible the shorties will catch up during the stretch. Or, they may need even MORE raising up if they stretch less, proportionately, than your larger plants.
Once you’ve done all you know to do, just flip ’em! You can adapt. Don’t stress TOO much on getting it all right in veg because things can change in flower anyways. Lol!
Thank you guys!
