Mario, figs are like a common weed, incredibly resilient - hopefully nobody hates me for comparing figs to weeds! Remember, they are in the same family as mulberries, and if you know mulberries, you know they can grow like kudzu, and are almost as hard to kill off.
Just hang tight - remember, these plants grow all by themselves out in the real world sometimes with terrible conditions, all without the help of humans. With this in mind, if you just provide conditions close to "real world", you shouldn't really need to touch a lot, or adjust much. If you are seeing healthy growth on top, leave it be. This is a good thing. It's showing something healthy. If the cutting needs to slow down, the cutting will sacrifice the leaf, and it will fall off. It happens sometimes.
It is possible to love something to death, or care something to death. Sometimes the most powerful treatment is letting nature carry its course.
