1st timers should avoid topping , beginners should avoid topping on autos because they can easily be stressed and it is easy for a noob to make a mistake... on the other hand if you don't try something you'll never know if you are able to do it ! The Choice is yours but just LST will be easier to manage.

Hey man! Looks good so far. I wouldn't top this autoflower. Especially if it's your first grow. Autoflowers are easily stressed and this causes reduced growth etc. I would suggest some last like leaftucking. Great way to increase yield without stressing her to hard. Do you meassure ec and PH? Anyway, at first sight she's doing great, so no worries. Happy growing 🌱👊

She looks really nice please don't top your autos. Avoid stressing them when their young. LST is the way to go. Usually you can start to do some end of week 3 if she's growing strongly which yours is. It's best to start while the stem of the main cola is still pliable but yet strong enough to handle some slight bending which can be done in stages. Then concentrate on leaf tucking/tying back leaves to ensure the most light to new growth sites. Avoid removing any leaves until your a couple of weeks into bloom which typically is week six. Then slowly remove leaves from the lower 1/3 of the plant to force more energy into upper bud growth. Good luck.👌
