1st timers should avoid topping , beginners should avoid topping on autos because they can easily be stressed and it is easy for a noob to make a mistake... on the other hand if you don't try something you'll never know if you are able to do it ! The Choice is yours but just LST will be easier to manage.

She looks really nice please don't top your autos. Avoid stressing them when their young. LST is the way to go. Usually you can start to do some end of week 3 if she's growing strongly which yours is. It's best to start while the stem of the main cola is still pliable but yet strong enough to handle some slight bending which can be done in stages. Then concentrate on leaf tucking/tying back leaves to ensure the most light to new growth sites. Avoid removing any leaves until your a couple of weeks into bloom which typically is week six. Then slowly remove leaves from the lower 1/3 of the plant to force more energy into upper bud growth. Good luck.👌

Your plants are looking great for the 13-16 day mark. I went and looked back at autos ive grown/photoperiods too and they're about on cue with yours. I think it's usually pretty common to have a runt of the liter, but you'd be surprised sometimes how the underdog dominates over the healthier plant in the end. Personally for a 1st grow I'd go with lst.... but if you have strong healthy plants topping isn't out of the question. You could always experiment and top the biggest one and then lst the other.. or vice versa. Then you could get a feel for the differences. Happy growing.✌️ *p.s. adding a nice silica supplement through the grow can help make stronger, resilient plants...like to powdery mildew or broken branches etc.😊

They are doing great. Good job! Since it's ur first grow I recommend lst and you are not supposed to top autoflowers. Keep it simple. Just get u some plant ties. Anchor main stalk near base by just tieing tie to side of pot bend a hook around stalk. Then bend plant the opposite way of hook till plant is 90 degrees and tie down . Keep doing this til plant reaches side of container. Once it does start to go around rim of pot in a circle. All the side shoots will come up and become colas

Hey man! Looks good so far. I wouldn't top this autoflower. Especially if it's your first grow. Autoflowers are easily stressed and this causes reduced growth etc. I would suggest some last like leaftucking. Great way to increase yield without stressing her to hard. Do you meassure ec and PH? Anyway, at first sight she's doing great, so no worries. Happy growing 🌱👊
