Hey! I would never say that 😅. Autoflowering varieties have too short a growth period to properly recover from a topping that will slow down their growth and therefore likely decrease the final yield. If you want to get the best out of it, you should try low stress training instead, which will allow you to expose as many new shoots to light as possible and get more main colas. I hope that helps and good luck!

I wouldn't top autos. LST is a good choice though, it can increase your yields. You can tie down the main stem sideways to get an even canopy... Good luck.

It will grow its biggest and fastest without topping. Topping is not a necessary technique when growing cannabis.

Depends on what you want. I normally top before day 21.

I have topped them plenty of times. Always on the forth node when i do it. You don't have to top them you can lst or leave them be. Best of luck the rest of the way.
