I just topped my plant and two nodes are coming out. Do I let them grow out or top them again for 4 nodes to come out or do I top the next node after these ones grow out?

Yeah, I read that and the pictures don't work anymore and I already "pinched" or cut off the growing node as shown in my picture.

yep looks like you FIMD that top and now have three tops. You can keep going after they develop a bit and do it again, or top or LST, or not, your choice.

To really understand the difference you can check out a technique called mainlining

So you topped once and created multiple tops instead of one. Now your going to wait until you get 3 new nodes on the new tops and top again.
