as long as it is healthy and growing vigorously from the start, you should have no concern topping an autoflower. the key is that you don't waste time with problems before or after, since time is limited.
I think LST is a better way to go wtih autoflowers. Now, the key is when to let that apical bud grow north and catch up with the ~8 other strong veritcal colas :)

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

second topping @third weekI would like to perform the second topping on saturday (at the end of the 3rd week) on the two top branches. I've drafted a sign on the picture where the cuts will be made.
Do you think they are ok ? In your opinion the timing is ok ?
Thx

How to top to make more colas (mainline)I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

ToppingHi guys. Do my plants need topping if I have little space (60x40x120cm) and I am planning a scrog? Are the plants ready for topping? After topping, I plan to use only lst + scrog, no mainlines/manifolds. I also plan to turn on the lights 12/12 in a week or two. Thanks!3 years ago
