By baby Northern Soul is 1 month old today! She is really taking off and need to control her as for I have 4 autoflowers growing on the sides of her! She has been topped once and was wondering it I should top one more time? Or just put everything on 12/12 when she is getting too big? Any help would be appreciated!

Looks good!

Topping will spread a branch into two shoots. Creating two smaller cola's versus one larger one.

LST will tie down the plant, spreading out the canopy and giving the lower/inner buds more light.

Pick your poison.

...You can top now, wait three, four days, then put it to 12/12.
Then if you need you can do some minor lsting in flower. Although, prepare for her to double in flower so take that into account prior to flipping to 12/12. It is best to keep training to Veg.

If you've topped already you'll have to wait about two weeks for them to establish if you do it again quickest I'd recommend is a week to wait otherwise you'll have small heads. 12 inches is the guideline for when to start flower some strains can triple or more in flower.you could supercrop while your still in veg but if your new I don't recommend it. Lst is ok ( I'm not a big fan) but definitely some strains don't respond well to it and obviously some do. Your call
