I personally wait till my plant reaches 5 nodes in height before topping it down to the third node. This helps ensure a strong root system before putting stress on the plant. Grow on! 🤘😤

Yeah yeah that good for topping even before it would have been fine (i don't top anymore i crush the stem in stead making the lower branche completely catch up to the top, or i one bud make one long bud no side branch) but yeah just pinch the top with finger or use scissors. And cut clean the new shout stem leaving just a little nip leaving the leaf and the base intact. You'll have two new head and the bottom will slowly elongate. You can oet you fan leaf down dayli to expose the shoots at the base giving them more grow power also.. ya just oet it down and gently bend the leaf downward without force it will expose the plant greately

Yeah, you could top her now, but you can also wait another node or two, its up to you. If she has really steady growth you may even top twice, its really dependent on the individual plant and the strain. I would say go for it.
