It is usually not reccomended to top an auto flowering plant. You are on a timer from day 1 to grow as much of the plant as you can before it starts flowering. When you top the plant, it is a high stress event that can trigger it to flower early as well.
I prefer to LST autoflowers by pulling them down to create an even canopy. This exposes bottom branches to more light and you get multiple main colas vs only a few.
Keep going with your regular feedings and care. There is nothing much more to do at this stage.
Hope this helps.

I don't think you should've topped that auto,
I can see in the third pic it is already entering flower, its going to focus on blooming now vs growing out and vegging.
Normally with Autos its best to only give them LST, some of them can take some HST but its hard to tell and takes a lot of time to figure this out.
Next grow don't top em, most optiomal option IMO, The stress causes them to enter flower early and they are on a set track to when they flower so they don't always have time to recover from the process.
Good Luck!

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?

Leaf-tips going droopy modeAfter my second to last watering the tips of all of the leaves started to droop a bit. I though it was connected to the night-cycle of my light, but it continues to worsen every day. However I only watered after the soil was dry too the touch? Is it really overwatering or else?

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?
