Plants are entering their 3rd week of veg and are working on their 5th node. Should I take this new growth, or wait for it to come in and mature a little more?

I'd give it another week or two, but that's just me.

I would let it go for a bit longer.

When I first top a plant I like to take the top and clone it.

I like toping earlier then most id say. I dont really count nodes just do it when i feel the plant has established itself and its root system. And i like to top early because the faster i get the shape i want and size the faster i can get it into flowering

General rule of thumb is not to top until 5-6 nodes of growth. Can't tell for sure from picture but looks like about three on yours. I'd wait a bit.
