Another topping question

[Boomer22]

Hey all! I’m still a giant newb and am doing more research on topping as I write this.. but I figured I would reach out anyway, any and all advice is welcome.

These are 7 days now in 70/30 coco in their starter pots on jacks 3/2/1 under a SF4000 turned all the way down, (40%)? My intention is to make as many of them mothers as I can, my goal is to get more experience with the mother/cloning process. My thought was to transplant into 2 or 3 gallon fabric pots next.

From reading on the forum it seems like patience is key and above all I want to keep them as healthy as I possibly can. With that being said what are your thoughts on topping these ladies or any other suggested training or pruning I should be starting soon.

I top after 5 nodes appear. Looks like you've got 4, so wait for another level.

If you are planning on using the piece you "top" as a clone, let it grow to a decent size. Tiny clones are a common mistake new pple make. They can work, but bigger clones with thicker stems take better. Topping too soon will stunt a plant's growth.

It’s growing slow and spacing is far I’d suggest turning that light up

Joke right? I top them way earlier than this example

I have topped the 5th node for years as soon as I have 4 I top, usually 2 weeks from seed
