Question about topping.

So this is my first time topping a plant. Should i leave the bottom/first set of leaves on or chop them off?

leave them on, so you have 4 new tops

and it looks fine by the way, just let her be and in a few days post another pic she will look heaps different

I was thinking that. So I did it right?

or should I top the first one next time?

The UB process says grow to 5-6 true node and cut to above 2nd node.
Leave the 4 sets of leaves, shoots will grow from the nodes.
I never tried it but it looks like it works great.
I just FM after 5th node, so far
