Topping is a source of stress, but is ok with the feminized because they have the time to overcome the stress becoming even more productive.
Autos have a pre determinate time to finish the cycle, so every stress they face is gonna take away health time to grow.
in my experience with autos few few times a topping gave me decent results, I found a lot more useful and productive just to train the main cola down.
good luck!

If it's growing very strong, and keeping on veg for long time it's ok to top. but only after 3 or 4 weeks.

Im with peter sage on this one. I think that if you want a higher yield, then lst or/and scrogging (i am personally now trying to scrog a couple of autos) are the directions you maybe wanna take.
Ernest also mentioned unpredictability, that is so true, so better to put all chances on your side.
Good luck!

No. No. No. No.... autoflowers rarely have time to recover from such a stressful technique and you'll be left with a plant that does not do anything. Stick to LST for autos!
Good luck!

If it's less than 3 weeks old, sure. Anything older than that is too old, considering the recovery time the plant would take and how unpredictable autoflowers are.

Light distance and when to top?I'm using a 300W LED. What distance should I keep the lights at now that I've transplanted and the plants are doing well? I'm thinking 24" and then move up as they grow until flipping. Also, when should I top? I've read that waiting for 6-8 nodes is the right way to go.

Outdoor Topping Limit?Hey Gromies! My outdoor girls still have till October to grow. They are in 10 gallon smart pots in the ground to combat the high temps here. I'm hoping to keep them under my fence line but I'm starting to think I'll need to top them all a second time. Will that be an issue?
