Can one top an Auto (10-14 week strain) in late 4th week? I’ve been topping on day 21 since growing autos but feel there room based on past grows. Advantages/Disadvantages if done before preflower?

LST method, topping and switching to flower!
Please look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going good so far but think I need to wait a little longer before topping? Anyone have a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower, am I rushing things🙏

Auto's and Training????
Being that the life cycle of these Auto's are so quick. Should the topping, cutting, training methods be used? Should I just let em go with some LST manipulation? First Time Grower here...THANKS for your input!!!

Topping Autoflowers?
Topping Autoflower Plants: That’s my question in a nutshell. I have spent many hours on YouTube researching; 90% say never too, but then there are those who swear by it even with autos. Thoughts?

Topping Error
I made a topping by mistake today. I broke while checking the plant :(( I cut too much from the bottom and also cut a fan leaf. Do you think there is a problem? In this case, is fertilizer given?

to top or not to top
I would like to top my plant but this is my first time I am doing this. The plant is in veggie week 3 under 16/8, about 19cm tall. What do you think? Can I cut in two days? Should I cut at the red line or at the blue line (see picture attached)?
