It is a bit young to top them , early topping is after the 5th node and average is after the 7th. I suggest you to practice lst before topping , like start the bending when the plant can handle it to create a flat canopy and expose the secondaries to more light and couples days after practice toping to promote the secondaries growth

Yes. It can be topped. 4 to 5 nodes is plenty.
