Hey topped plenty of times and usually its strait forward but with this plant I'm unsure where to top as there is no obvious node to top.

This is apical growth and topping will not help here.
You can look here, but unfortunately no one has given a good explanation of the reasons yet.
When pruned, such a bush will not bifurcate, but will continue to grow with one bud per node.
You can try FIM. Then it will probably be more likely to get more branches from the top node.

It happens when the plant reaches sexual maturity. I've had some luck topping them, just pick the highest node and top it. It won't produce the exact same effect but it does allow the lower nodes to catch up with the top to create an even canopy. You need to top before they get to the 7th node to be safe usually if you want even nodes. After that it's a crap shoot as to when they start going alternating.

Just top that upper most node like normal. The new growth will come from those little tufts next to the stem, at the base of the petioles on your next set of leaves.
The nodes are alternating, but they're pretty close together, so you should be cool.

Clones taken from flower tend to exhibit this trait as well, alternating nodes. You can clone the clone and it goes away, so a fresh cut might help if you want to keep her...

The clones were takin from a vegging plant

Yea I dont see how cutting the top node on this is going do anything.

Well, yeah. That's the issue. That's why you asked the question.
If you knew that the next two branches would spit out the new growth you would have just gone ahead and topped it.

Even plants from seed do this after a certain number of nodes. It just means that it's mature, nothing bad. Clones often have it because they're usually taken from mature mother plants so they show it as well. I veg all my plants 60 days or as close to it as possible and they all will show this by then. Usually it's around the 6 or 7 week mark.
Almost bingo, at least there is definitely some logic here.
All dicotyledonous plants begin to grow symmetrically, and anyone who dismantled mature inflorescences could notice a clear asymmetry.
I think that more attention to this issue will help collect the necessary statistics and reveal all the small details.
But for this I would ask the author of the topic to change the title. It does not accurately reflect the essence of the issue and, moreover, duplicates the existing one.
Topping
Sorry another newbie topping question...ive drawn orange line on this little plant where i think i should cut... Is that correct place? Thanks

I would find a spot in the stalk where there are parallel shoots & snip there. If not then Lst it is.
That’s if it’s not too late.
