Ian it'd be good to see the whole plant, see how far up you're topping.

I usually top at the 3rd or 4th node, give the side branches time to catch up. Leaving the top until the 6 node takes too much time to get a flat top with the side branches.

You've picked the right spot on the nodes to top, if you're going to top that high on the plant.

I would top on the third or fourth node, which ever has a good set of branches.

Most, or all, of your yield is going to come above the top, having a long stem lollipoped below the topping just takes vertical space.

I cut above the 5th node just to be on the safe side and put the cuttings in peat with hormone power see if i get anything off the cuttings
