I put my lights 8 inches away just to where I can't fell heat from the light on the back of my hand my node spacing before I topped was 3/4 of a inch all the way up

How high are your lights from your plants
About 6 inches from the t5's. She is a 1 week old seedling. I really only commented because hybrids have multiple phenotypes and what you said is not always true.

And when I flower her with the light at a distance she is happy with (likely around 18" for my 600w HPS a/c lights) her genetics and environment will still dictate how she grows. Assuming things are going well.

Your right genetics play a big part in growth I had some pineapple chunk and one pheno was 3ish feet tall another grew over 6 feet tall under the same lights so not every scenario can just explained easily but if you have stable genetics with minimal pheno types within the strain chances are you can predict growth rates but not always

I topped mine at 5 nodes high just go to the middle new growth fan open the center you will see the main shoot growing from the center VERY easy just take the tip of your finger and push it to the side till you hear it pop then the other way pull off then its topped I will FIM the new side branching as soon as they reach the top of the plant is will usually make 16-30 tops per plant
I like to top or fim at the 4-5 node too

I been having then on 24hrs of light, before I go to flower should I change the lights to 18/6 for a week or so?
Yes it will be good to avoid stress., I like to start them on a 20/4 light schedule., Them move to 18/6., Then to flower
