I think it's time to top - what about you?

Hey there GWE, hope you're all blessed this day

I've been trying my hand at my first grow - if you'd like to check it out, here's the link.
I plan to ScroG or manifold so I've been looking into topping.

As I understand it most growers wait until the 4/5th node to show before doing this.
My girls have their 6th set of leaves showing and what I believe are 5/6 nodes now.

Here's how they look and where I plan to perform said topping:


Is that correct?

(Potassium problems aside) I think it's time to top them just above the 4th node as in the GWE topping guide - what do you think GWE?

Back in the day when I topped, I topped above 5 and removed everything under 4. Just what worked for me. Your plan is totally functional.

Hey quirk, thanks for taking the time to reply and the graphical guide!
If you don't mind, could you tell me how large you let 4/5 get before you topped?
I really like your suggestion as I wanted to get rid of my lower leaves anyway because ... well you can see what's happening there lol
