Don’t go off time, go off height, wait until it’s around 50–60mm, then mow down to 35–40mm, taking no more than a third off. Before mowing, do a quick pull test, if the seedlings stay anchored you’re good to go, if they lift, give it a few more days. I would say looking at that you’re fine to nip the tops off.
