You can and some strains go dream but mostly it's not recommended. Autos just don't get the recovery time they need heading into flower. On YouTube the channel FromSeedtoStoned covered the topic really well.

Topping very bushy plants with low node distance
This plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal? I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way. Happy growing!

Hello everyone I’m planning on keeping the Kush n cookies plant as a mother plant for clones I need to take about 25 clones. I’ve done clones before but never have had a mother plant so any advice would be great! I have her in a 60x60x140 tent with mars hydro ts600 in 20liter pot

Topping Too Extreme?
I was trying to even out the main growth area, as this plant stretched between 5&6th nodes. It looked like a palm tree. It's done now, but should I treat the wound?

How am I doing so far?
I over watered them and I think I used too much nutrition. But they look to be recovering nicely!

Topping early at the third node
Hi. I have topped two plants above the third node but I don't intend to main-line them. They both had developed four mature nods. Was I too early to top and I cut at the wrong node? Can they develop enough branches to Scrog a 70x70cm grow? They kept growing after the topping
