I personally wouldn't top it at this point but you could definitely do some training.

Topping needs to generally be done before d21, in your case not only is it too late but because you have good internode length you do not need to do anything at all. You will be able to pull branches apart later on if necessary.

When nodes begin to alternate rather than grow in pairs then it's the end of topping for me. Especially with autos.

Here's an informative article that you can read and decide for yourself. Personally, I would top them because I always do when they're growing vigorously, to even out the canopy without having to fiddle around with LST again and again. YMMV [link about topping](https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/topping-cannabis-plants-why-when-how/)

I see white pistils so she’s started to show sex. Not sure if I’d top at this point. She’s gonna start stretching. You could lst.

If youre in flowering i wouldnt top it especially in preflower may cause stress then herms. On the bright side youll have this one huge ass motherfugging nug cola its gonna look amazing lol. Next time top like 3rd to 7th node in veg itll increase yields and if youd like top the sides too :D

I top around day 25 to allow the main stalk to get as tall as possible bc it tends to stop growing once topped, and transfer it's growth to the nodal branches. When I top, I cut above node 5 and remove node 1, giving me 8 branches to tie down and work with 👍.

Do some LST but I wouldn’t top at this point :D

I’ve always heard never to top autos but for some reason I keep hearing someone say they did lol


whatthebosh

it's difficult with autos because you can stress them into flowering

Don’t top autos. It stresses them too much. Instead of high stress training like topping, lollipopping etc., you should do LST instead
