Your auto looks verry Indika to me, also verry little internodial space. Topping her would even give you less pace. Since she's an auto you cannot grow it out, or cut out branches for more space(airflow!) during veg phase. If you want to cut of sth I would wait till she flowers and than take of the lowest set or two sets of branches. Most of the time they don't get high enough for good ppf. Much success and happy growing

I would advice against topping an auto till your get more familiar with growing and the strain you want to top. Some times they do great other times they do not and go into shock then bloom. Its annoying having one plant enter flower and the other is not. I also feel that others who have their grows down pat and use DWC have more flexibility as the plant has less stressors. The interned spacing looks tight as well. might want to look at dimming or raising the light a bit. Good Luck!

I top almost every plant I grow and I only grow autos currently. I found best luck topping at node 5, especially when dealing with Autos. Most people will not recommend this. I only do it because I grow in DWC, so my Vegetative growth is explosive with that method. If you’re not seeing significant growth, you may not want to top as it could stunt your plant for the rest of the grow.

It looks like it's growing fast enough to consider topping. If you do, don't wait much longer and remove a minimal amount of the plant(aka just the growth tip). This will help ensure a speedy recovery before it starts to flip to flower on you.
