Yes you are good to top. Recommendation is 4 to 5 nodes to start topping. Your plant is growing it's 6th node. Also u should not top flush and leave a little nub beging. Makes it strong at that point so when u do training your main stem does not split.

As you can start topping after the 5th node you can do it here if I still know how to count

Won't cut yet or should I?Am I doing this right? The top arrow is the way I'm bending her, or do I bend her back, bottom arrow? I already stressed her out enough. I defoliated to get rid of shade, bent more. Tied down the twigs. Comments needed lol 👊

lower branches, late flower, lots of foliage These lower branches are filling out with a ton of foliage but nothing exciting on my Jack hermie. Is it a waste of energy for the plant? Should I trim them? Cut these branches off? Let nature do its thing?

Cutting fan leaves Just cut my fan leaves 😳 the stems we’re turning people, if I’m not mistaken it’s an early sign of an old leave that’s not as efficient in the photosynthesis? and it was covering the new growth, Or should I have waited?

How much/little should I prune?I’ve read a lot of conflicting opinions these last few days regarding defoliation/plucking/pruning. Today is day 21 of 12/12 and my only goal is to prevent white powdery mildew. How many leaves would you take off? RH overnight spikes into the high 70’s if the dehumidifier is off

Currently In Week 8 of Veg in ScrOG Setup - When Should I Flip to Flower?I started a Scrog set up and believe I am in final stages to flip to flower. Let me know if I should flip now? I am afraid of overfilling and suffocating growing buds. Do I need to do some defoliation prior to the flip, or wait until a few weeks into flower? See Wk 8 Veg

flowering fem lollipopping?First week flowering, should cut away the less exposed sprouts? Branch in pic 1 is almost totally hidden and you can see it being much smaller. Also not sure about cutting the two tiny sprouts in pic 2, there are many similar to those in other branches.
