First time autoflowering

Hello, I have some 11-18 day old autoflowers. Haven't done any kind of training to them, just let them grow straight up. Some of them already have first pistils. Should I just leave them how they are, or do something? Maybe take down the first 2 branches that aren't getting enough light?

The thing I am looking is, I want the lower branches to be the same as the main top, is it possible to slow down the main top growth so the side branches catch the height?

Thanks

personally, I don't finger poke auto's....just let them grow
