Hello growmie, There are lot's of very good articles in the journal section, i took the time to pick out a few ones that will just give you different ideas (you can find the article about topping under high stress training - 1st link) High Stress Training (HST):
growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-high-stress-training-hst-on-cannabis
Low Stress Training (LST):
growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-low-stress-training-lst-on-cannabis-plants
The advantages of training:

Mainlining:

Personally i would begin by topping the plant between 2nd and 3th node that way you will end up with 4 main branches. If you want 6 branches top between or 3th and 4th node. Good luck 🍀 mate ✌️

i top mine usually once 4rth-5 set of leaves appear, you can cut or pinch top off....once the little top is long enough to get it, 1/4 inch or taller above next set below..

I would be tempted to leave her alone. Maybe a little LST.

Best FastBuds For Bubble Hash OUTDOORS
Any input with experience on growing FastBud autos outdoors for the purpose of bubble hash. Will be growing in soil, just looking for a good overall hash plant. I've noticed some of their strains are bunk for outdoors. Leaning towards Gorilla strawberry and Bruce Banner, ideas?

Ready for flushing?
It’s my first grow and I’m not quit sure if I’d already flush the plant. And how long do you all think I should keep it growing from now on? As autumn already hit and the weather will be cloudy and not warmer than 15*C over the day. ( Installed a light and it’s in an greenhouse)

If i wanted to lollipop this, how much should i take off? - lollipopping, scrog
When and how much should i take off? - Considering she is not very tall, but very dense. She has been defoliated quite heavily, both before and during flower stretch but i feel like she needs more. 6 week veg - 11 days since switching to 12/12 Sage n' sour fem in 12L coco 50/50

3weeks in flower, can i cut the little buds ?
Hello ! i heard that cutting the buds that don't get enough lights will make the plant prioritize the higher buds. Should i do it for this plant ? I have been cutting 1, 2 fan leaves every 2 days for the light access for buds. Thank you for ur help !

When should I lollipop?
When is it better to lollipop if at all? I just flipped her two days ago and she started growing a bit faster. And looks quite bushy down there. Should I do it now before she started growing buds? Or should I wait a bit? Or no need to do that at all?

Defoliation for better ventilation?
Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there. And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?

Topping and LST autoflower
I have a 2.5 week old seedling that is only ~3 inches tall, but I just topped/fimmed the 5th node. I plan on starting LST, how long should I wait before tying them down? She is currently in a 3 gallon.

When to flush and harvest and should I defoliate again?
When to flush and harvest? I think I am close but my gut tells me to keep it on the current nutrients and feeding schedule for another week or 2 and then flush but also don't want to leave it too long.. My stash is all but empty. Also, should I defoliate again?

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.
First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused! It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM? Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?
