I am big fan of pain for plants, just a bit sado mazo freak ;))) But I never top plants, tried it, simple way to form even canopy, BUT .... You loose few days or week of grow, mostly of top part were all efforts and energy of plant went, just to throw it away ???? SuperCroping, LST, leave tucking , small stem crushing and etc, there is milion ways to harm without step backs, so what for ??? Only because you read or saw ??? I grew not one and not ten, you have to see how plant grow without and with training to understand is it needed. Toping is lazy fuck or clone resort, no other way. You have nice girl, bent her before watering, expose side branches manually by lifting above fan leaves, so many things and options without castration ... All the Best !

Yor plant is ready to be topped. I always wait 3rd node and value the plant healt...if she's healty,you can start topping. I want to tell you something about the distance between your nodes..i think you have to slightly move up you light. When they are too close,it means the light is close to the plant,otherside,if the distance between the nodes is a lot,you have to move down your light because the plant is stretching. After you top,wait the recovery of the plant 👊🏽 Hope it helped.. Good luck 🍀🍀

I typically top when a plant has 3-5 nodes mainly depending on the plant's size and it's genetics. I think you can top now.

Yes go for it.. side note - why do your first 2-3 nodes have absolutely no growth tips/ branches beginning? That’s really weird
