I topped my 9 Day old plant because i´ve seen a few videos where the guy also topped that early and it turned out it was really effective.
whats your opinion?

Young plants take longer to recover from topping. In this case, you might lose 1 or 2 days. I wouldn't go much earlier than this, and I haven't seen anyone try it earlier. If you find it easier to train your plant afterwards and achieve the form you want (e.g., developing 4 main colas with fewer side branches), then it can be effective. If you made a clean cut, your plant should bounce back soon and continue growing vigorously.

It's merely a higher risk of shocking the plant. I don't think it's a high risk unless it was really tiny.
greater horticultural anecdotal knowledge says to wait for 6-7 nodes before doing so for this sort of plant. This is more reliable anecdote than you typically see in marijuana-related gardeners - i.e. burning your plant, depriving it of nutrients or light, blind mass defoliation, etc etc...

I typically top a little later so I can remove the first set of branches that form, so that I can have room for watering.
But you cut first and asked questions later so it is what it is. Either way there’s no right or wrong. She’s going to be just fine at the end of the day. I would suggest to pot up at this time. The leaves are already touching the edges of the pot.

Topping or LST after 1st toppingLast week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too.
I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?

Autoflower topping?... and if so, when is best?My friend is recommending that I top at the fifth node with the knowledge I'm growing autos.
However, many grower's here discourage it completely for autos.
What's the best practise? I've never topped so this may need spelling out for me.
Thanks in advance ✂️
