Too short/young to top? Only 2,5in/6cm tall, 2 weeks old

Hi!
I'm doing a microgrow, and I'm planning on topping my plant and then scrog. She (hopefully) is just 6cm/2,5 inches tall atm, and 2 weeks old. If I'm counting correctly, she has 4 nodes:

So my question is, is this too early to top, considering the age and how short she is? This is my first grow so I just want to be sure so I don't do anything stupid.
 
I'm not sure I want to clone it though, I only have a pc cabinet, and I allready have another plant in there (a mutant plant, which I noticed has a leaf growing upside down lol). I don't have a place to keep it alive for 2-3 months until these are done flowering.

Should I still let it grow a few more days? Is it the right place I placed the cut in the picture?

you can top it in-between sites 2 and 3.( dont cut the buds off at site 2) i like to top them low so the tops can spread out. otherwise everything under the area you top typically gets shaded out. Also pull those baby leafs off at the bottom, they are going to die anyway.

In case you havent seen any of DrBuds stuff, ill point ya in a fun lil direction that you may find useful in someway. Hes dealing with mothers in this thread, but it shows how small his girlz are that he is doing all this too...its a pretty good read.

seed plants - you need to leave 4-5 nodes (leaf sets) or you may stunt it.

also when you do top it, leave 2 mature/fully grown leaves at the top as this will help it to bounce back quicker.
