you can top any time you want...it's just best to wait a few nodes up first to give them a leg up. The first 3 inches is what I go by, but I have been topping for a while and am now learning to scrog. I'm also doing a low grow. If you want a tall bushy plant, wait until the 5th or 6th node. You can't go wrong.

If you wait until the 5th or 6th node the 2 new shoots will be more mature and come out quicker.
And yeah, right after the 2nd node should give you 4 main branches, but again it'd be worth it to wait for those extra nodes
