Can you top an autoflower plant?

Hello friends

I wanted to know if I can top my autoflower to reduce height.
also, can I delay its flowering time by adding more nitrogen so the it gains more vegative weight ?
thank you all

I treat auto's as "plug and play".....no topping or LST or cloning and start in the final pot...but not saying this is written in stone

No, you cannot delay flowering....it will flower when it's ready

You can, but you shouldn't

Thanks alot

you don't want to top auto's because they don't have a true vegetive phase, meaning, usually when you top photo's, you give them an extra say 2 weeks of veg to recover from the topping, before putting them into flower, to regrow what was topped..
lst, is low stress training, pretty much bondage for plants if you will..

In my experience, anything you do to stress an auto stops their growing in it's tracks. Like Racerboy said they do not have a vegetative stage.
