Bloomluver,If you are pruning the plant to over winter,trim it back,as poppysue says,don't cut below the Y,I was told to leave 6 nodes above the first Y,when we say Y,it is the upper flowering growth,the plant must make a genetic Y,before it flowers.
I like my cuttings to be below the Y,the trunk of the plant,this is what works for me,I want the plant to get taller,cuttings above the first Y will give you faster blooming clones,but they will not reach a good height.
I like to have taller plants,don't get me wrong,I have a short bushy white that was first to bloom,and is still blooming!
