It really depends on the overall health of your plant, and your lights. I read a lot of articles that recommend waiting until your sixth node, then top down to node three. Personally, I top after 5 nodes and only remove the top itself.

Outdoor topping?Wondering if I should top my outdoor grow. I have read both directions. Topping will make bushier and seems to be the thing to do indoors. Should I top my outdoor plants? This is my first grow. Or Should I just let them be to flourish?

As you can see, one of my plants is a few inches taller than the others. They've all been topped 3 times for 8 mains, but I'm wondering whether I should top the big plant 1 more time in an effort to achieve a more uniform canopy height before flipping to 12-12.

Topping Sorry - Another topping / training question: When is the best time to "Top" your plants in regards to time of the day, e.g. morning/midday/night in terms of light schedule? In short: do you cuts your plants when the lights come on, before they go off, or somewhere in between?
