I would wait till you have 4-5+ nodes before topping. I waited till the 4tg and topped at the 3rd

I don't top anymore, I FFIM. In other words take a snip for a clone. Same rules as topping, 3-4 healthy nodes left on the seedling.

My only experience, I topped after the 5th node. When the 5th and 6th nodes were just starting to grow out, I peeled the 5th node apart and just plucked off the 6th node. The 6th node was only the size of a pea or smaller. this seemed to work well for me, I vegged 6 weeks and all lower nodes stretched up and became an even canopy with two new tops
