i top my seedlings at the third node once they developed 5 when they are just baby's. They seem to do fine

Thanks man, mine are bouncing back even after a few hours. Those are some nice looking stalks man! Have pics of the rest of the plant? How did you get those stems so thick?
Im facing some sort of dilemma.. i got excited with my 2 autos so decided to start another plant (the one topped and pictured). Its a regular photoperiod. What happens when its time to switch it to 12/12 if my autos arent ready yet? Will the autos suffer?

Those are in 10gal pots veged for 6 weeks. Supercropping works wonders though. That was from my first big grow here's a pic of the room at like 2weeks in flower. Ifucked up and had some strechy ogs with my snowland that doesn't strech much. The 12/12 shouldn't affect the autos that's an advantage of autos the light cycle doesn't matter. And i pic of a super cropped stem from my current grow is thicker then the main stalk

I've found cannabis can take all sorts of abuse lol. I wouldn't worry. If you can get to it, to top it, go for it.
I recently topped my young clones and then supercropped them, sometimes I think, what am I doing lol but then two days later boom

Top em , tie em down and spreadem out. Most light to the sites and prune from bottom up every now and then!

The yield on the auto will slightly suffer cause more light with auto more yield

I've done pinching and training from the first set of true leaves, cut the top off at the second set on some sacrificial plants just to see how it would work. It worked fine, i ended up with a short,short fat bonsai type plant. I think it depends on alot of factors,some plants can rebound some can't , that's why most wait for the plant to get fully established. I pop bagseed every now and then just to abuse and experiment with, i like the hands on experience.
