Depending on your growing method, you can realistically top at any point in the vegetative growth, but many wait until 3-5 nodes to start. It also depends on the strain you are using and how it reacts to training.

Not sure on the strain, but it sounds like they are reacting well. The one with 4 main nodes could have been accomplished 2 ways. Either the top resulted in the lower branches coming up and becoming dominant, or you accidentally used the FIM (F*ck I missed) method, which many say is less stressful for the plant!
