The intensity of the light drops farther down from the source. Topping levels the canopy because the growth hormones are distributed around, fostering the growth of many new buds as opposed to one singular shoot.
Though beneficial, the success of topping depends on timing. If you do it too soon, the plant will be too young to withstand the stress. Stop topping a couple of weeks before flowering to allow your new branches to develop and grow strong. When the conditions of growth are perfect, you will see new growth faster.
After two days, you will spot the little nubs from the nodes. Within two weeks, the new growth shall be lengthy and healthy. Still, genetics influence the growth of the new shoots considerably. The growth conditions will also affect how fast the plant grows after topping. The quality and intensity of the light also play an important role in hastening the new growth. This is my auto blue dream, I decided against topping it since it's an autoflower.. They look healthy, but they also look like they're stretching a bit, from my point of view.

Look for secondary growth at the lower nodes, that usually means that it is safe to top the plant. Plants growing in soil that is too wet suffer from a lack of oxygen which leads to the death of roots and a loss of vigor in the plant.
Stunted slow growth with yellowing leaves is a symptom of over watering. Plants may suffer from leaf scorch or leaf burn. And so the plant dies of root rot. Topping is effectively used to obtain multiple, even-sized floral sites.
LST is then used to bring these floral sites to the same height to maximize grow lamp efficiency. Generally speaking, topping is the best technique if you are wanting to manipulate the shape of your plants so that they can absorb more light, and fimming is better for producing more colas and a quicker recovery time for your plants.
If you get better results from the topped batch than the untopped, by all means, top your plants. At the same time, though, if you root what you cut, at least you get another plant out of it, so it can be worth it.
Pinching plants like mums and asters will also move their bloom time back a few weeks, giving you flowers in late September when the rest of your garden is dying down rather than in late summer.
