@Fast_Buds, thanks a ton I really do appreciate you all taking the time to not only reach out and offer help but to actually follow through. Means a lot
@JSP4470, Hey! Generally speaking, topping isn't recommended with autoflowers as it could potentially stunt their growth. They don't have the same recovery time as their photoperiodic sisters therefore HST could be more hurt than help in inexperienced hands. I would recommend getting a few auto grows under your belt before trying, in order to get a better understanding of their quick growth pattern. That being said, LST is always recommended and is a great way to increase yield. Regarding the purple, in most cases it comes through, however if you want to encourage it more, you can lower the temperatures a bit during flowering phase.
@Fast_Buds, actually I do have some questions. While I’m aware they’re still young given this is my 1st time growing an auto flower do you recommend topping these or just LST? Also any recommendations for encouraging the plant to show more of the purple we all seek?
