I have a CFL grow box that is about 5 feet high and I want to know what is the best time to take the middle tip out? There are 6 seedlings, the largest is about 6 inches high now.

yes I mean top them. They are about 3.5 weeks old now. I made a mistake, the biggest is 4 inchs high (not 6) and has 4 nodes. It is quite healthy and growing faster than the others by quite a bit, not sure why. I might top that one soon and wait for the others to get bigger.
