I like topping twice. Once after the plant gets to its 4th/5th node. Then train those branches to the width of how wide you want your plant and then top each of those branches. Each time you top you get more bud sites with slightly smaller buds compared to a few branches with a big cola on each of them.

I top my autos when the stems show thickness, and have tight node spacing. I also do this before day 21 +- a day. If they are taller spindly stems, I do not mess with them. Once I top I just LST afterwards.
Here is a FIM on my current grow, and it truly was a FIM not purposely done! If you look close you can see the original center of the plant and she has grown what appears to be a center cola again! Center cola is small for for now, but she has at least another 4 to 6 weeks of growing. She did spread nicely and has quite a few bud sites forming. This is a Zamnesia WURLZ F1 Auto.

you can be quite agressive with some strains. i had white widow from greenhouse seeds, i was topping it loads of times and it never hermied on me, i did however get so many buds that were very small and i didn't do it again, waste of time, top as the guys above sugesst, keep it to a minimum to be on the safe side,
it worked on the first lot of seeds frm greenhouse, but i believe they were the original breeders, so the strain was sund and could take the constan
t pruneing

I only top once, then LST from there, especially with autos, just not enough time after say day 25. Photo periods you can continue until you want to flip. But as another poster stated the more you cut, the smaller the buds get.
