Black stem after topping

  1. i recently topped my seedling. it had 4 sets of leaves. now it has 3 sets and the cut where i topped it at is turning black:eek: what does this mean? i topped it about day and a half ago and still no sign of new growth, just a dark color almost black. my first question to get it all started off is, do i need to top it at a certain spot between internodes or can it be anywhere, as long as its between internodes of the new growth a next leaf set.?
