Hi @Balagato! You will be able to see pre-flowers about 10~12 days before the real flowering stage. Topping autoflowering strains is a controversial topic, if you're not used to this I would recommend to let the plant grow with its natural shape. As you mentionned, a topping surgery will involve a few days of recovery, and with autoflowers you don't want to slow down the plant, which has a limited lifetime. That being said, I've had great results when topping some autos, I usually do this with the most beautiful / strongest / fastest plants, and I cut above the 3rd or 4th node, because I know their genetics will handle the recovery. However I don't do it with all plants, most of the autos I grew went through LST rather than TOPping/FIMming. It's up to you! Whatever you decide, please let us know how this goes! Happy growing 👊

For autos you have to top above the 4th node, removing the 5th pair of leaves. Any later and it will start flowering. By the looks of it, you are just at the right point to TOP

When growing outdoors You wanna start your plants early. I started mine March 14th. That will give you loads of time to top and train branches. Depending on the strain and flowering time, most breaders give you a guid line of when the flower is going to finish and how many weeks. A lot will start to flower in August in the northern hemisphere varies between the first and the end of the month. That being said i wouldn’t top anything after July 15th.
