I never top an auto and I am VERY sparing with pruning and removing leaves. Instead I do LST to spread the plant out and create more bud sites.

As soon as you can. Autos don't have long veg time to grow more.

If your autoflower is growing fast and strong top it by week 2 or 3 and no later unless you know the Genetics. If it doesn't start flowering till around week 6 or 7 then you can top it a 2nd time during week 4. Good example= fast and strong growing by week 2, then top. Recovery by week 3 with growth, then top again, recovery by week 4 and growth top again. Try to let your autoflower have 1 week to recover from topping. If your plants are extremely strong and show recovery or growth in a few hours like mine did, train it CONSTANTLY. Check my autoflower grow out.
