My Clone Ready? Where Do I Top?

Hello all! I was wondering this this young gal is ready to be snipped. This is my first grow so I am unsure. I've watched tutorials on topping but my girl doesn't look exactly like what I've seen and I wanna make sure I do it right. Thanks!

Snipped from mother about 2 weeks ago and transplanted into home about a week ago.

before you do anything what are you trying to do with this plant? is she going to be the only plant under a light (what light)? you said the clone was taking 2 weeks ago… I would not top for another week to be safe (unless you see massive growth happening in the next few days, than you know she's doing good). for topping lower that blue line as close to the mainstalk as you feel comfortable… if you're growing a bush you'll want to top again a week or 2 after initial when the 2 new tops you've created start to shoot up…. I love multi site bushes.

My perferance is short and bushy. I have 2 others but I'm going to try keeping them smaller (experiments). I have her under a 240w LED at the moment. In the last week I've seen her go from 8cm to 16cm. She's loving her new home. So you think I should wait a week? And what cutting method do you think I should go with considering my goal of short and bushy.
