looks good! you could bend it like an L, or just let it be for now.

personally i dont bother with LST until later. in which case i keep bending the main shoot down to let lower branches catch up, then try to maintain them all about the same height similar to screen of green. but without the screen
 
thank you, I wasn't sure being that bending it while this bushy would put some leaves on the soil. didn't know if that will cause issues or not?
 
How old is it if I may ask?
Have the same problem. here she's 26 days old.
In the other she's 36 days old.
Barely 10"...

6 inches tall now

This is an autoflower, supposed to be ready is 8-10 weeks.

Is there time to top this plant a second time?

Thank you,

Steve
 
personally i wouldnt top it again. you risk stress right at the start of flower.

but then again i dont like to hst autos whatsoever. someone else might be able to give better insight.

as far as i know, autos flower when they reach a certain age, health, and size combination. theoretically you could get away with it if those parameters havent been hit yet. but i dont know how you would be able to tell if thats the case or not. maybe someone who knows autos well will turn up.
