From setup to mature take about 4-6 months, this one almost six month, because in summer time, plant grow very fast, it is very difficult to control their grow rate to bloom at the same time. Prune is a very interesting game, usually, I would only trim the top part and keep the stem to let it spread, the top part can be replant to the area that is not dense enough. Usually, it would prune four to five time during the period, but remember to supplement root fertilizer if you want them spread. You may also aware that the lower stem leaves melt, so after prune, sometimes may only remain the stem but no leaves, at that time plant are more rely on root to adsorb essential fertilizer for their grow.
