GDP2 "Retopping"?
So... is it normal for the plants to "retop" themselves? I topped GDP2 like 3 days ago and now it looks as though what I cut off is growing back again. Should I top it again in the same spot?

Topping an auto flower
I want to top the big wedding cake but I'm worried I waited too late and at the rate she is growing I think she is an auto (wasnt supposed to be). Should I go ahead and top her or just let her go? I have read lots of mixed reviews about topping autos.

When to top
Curious when you guys are topping. I have just entered week 4 and the 5th real pair of leaves is just developing. Should I top now or wait for the 6th? Root system should be fine by now for the plant to handle the stress, right?

Is it a problem if one main cola is longer then the other?
Did my first topping/mainlining. Right cola is longer then the left one, is it a problem or will they even out? For now Im trying to break any apical dominance by holding the longer cola below the shorter one. Any ideas how to deal with this?

Topping autoflower?
I topped my RQS Medusa F1 autoflower at 2 nodes but topped my RQS Milky Way F1 autoflower at 3 nodes. My question is which is better or should I have done it at 4 nodes? This is my first time topping autos and I'm experimenting. Would appreciate some advice. 💚🌱✌️

Defoliate?
Will I defoliate the 1st node site as shown in the picture below, when I top her? There doesn't seem to be much growth there the last week and I'm worried that there is wasted nutrients going to this site? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Topping at two weeks?
I wonder what the effect of topping so early will have? Week two is pretty unconventional, with most preferring 3-5 weeks. She seems pretty happy though. Hopefully this will give maximum uninterrupted ( minus of course the LST ) veg time now.
