Topping in auto moby dick xxl strains (dinafem)

Hi guys, I have a pretty simple question for those who have worked with Moby dick Strains, how they respond to topping? I want to work with scrog and lollipop, but I'm not pretty sure how moby dick will respond to topping because this strain usually form one super big dense giant main cola and from this cola is almost all the outcome of this strain. I'm talking from what I've seen, because I've never growed this strain before and I don't now how it reacts to topping.
Any help will be useful !

I grew Moby dick XXL auto last year. It is a very big plant with three phenotypes.One is really fluffy and the other is dense and hard.the third is in between with very pretty flowers.The dried bud smells like strong cedar and spice.It was a little overpowering for me.The effect is average I rekon but I'm a daily toker.Dont top the autos it sets them back and you will lose yield.Just bend them over and they will turn into a bush.Here's a few pics.View attachment 3976797 View attachment 3976798 View attachment 3976800 Oh and it's a 12-14 week plant!

I grow in Canna Coco coir with 50% perlite.I mix my feed half gal tap and half gal RO with 1/4-1/2 tsp Flora nova.I have both the grow and bloom.My ppm total is 380-550.the city water here has around 350ppm with a lot of calcium magnesium & sulfur.I have not had to add calmag since.It is also has a very high alkalinity and i use sulfuric acid to get my ph down from around 8 to 5.7-6.0.It usually takes little less than 1/8tsp.I ph and feed every day. I f I have to flush I always put just a little feed in there like an1/8tsp
The lights I grew those with is a chinese Roledro 330 acualwatt 4 cob in flower box and 2 of the galaxy full spectrum(i think they're 150's).The galaxys are in the veg side of the closet.I had to put one of them under the galaxys and it didn't finish as well as the other two 3gal plants.Also plant them in the final size pot.I used 3gal smart pots.small coffee cans and a paint bucket hempy. I hope this does you some good on your grow.

I had just one grow with coco and just got average results, I'll try to follow your growing pattern, using 50% perlite & 50% Coco with one girl, with your feeding schedule and see how it goes for me. I really appreciate your experience !
