Topping autoflowers

Depends on the plant in my experience but I have waited for 4-5 nodes and topped above the 2nd which resulted in a 4 part main bush close to the ground which was advantageous it split flawlessly.

My most recent grow with different genetics has been a bit slower but I waited for 5 nodes and topped above the 3rd and 4th it appears to have worked out well so far last day or two the secondary nodes are pumping out large now. In my experience so far I wouldn't top most autos after 4 weeks but exceptions should be made as you become more familiar with the specific genetics of the plant.

I also start my plants indoors and move them out after 2 weeks.
