I shall try my best to explain. When you stunt a seedling (overwatering) and it finally recovers after 7 days. Autoflower. Has she now lost 7 days from her veg? Spite still being a seedling!
It's not ideal but not necessarily. I think autos will flower once they reach a certain maturity.
I have topped autos before . This stress seems to make them veg for an extra week or so , which in turn created a bigger plant .
Just try not to stress it anymore let it grow and I think you'll be fine.
