When growing autos indoors in soil, what is the best time to top them to prevent them growing too tall for your tent?

Hi @JasbadSirron! I usually top autos at the 3rd node, once the 4th node has fully developed. This makes me remove a part of the plant, but recovering is faster when the lower parts has true leaves / has already developed new growth. Keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Hello ! Just like athos told you the best moment is after the 4th node (3rd or less for main-lining) . The supercroping is a better technique as the plant can recover faster from the stress than with a simple toping that will slow her down a bit & it will allow you to controle height better ! Hope it will help you 😁👍

After the 4th node, removing the 5th (or most of it, if you are FIMing). In my last diary I FIMed an auto. In your case, I would use supercroping if you are having height problems

Defoliation before harvesting Hello, I hope some more experience grower would be able to give me a good advice. I’m in week 9 and planning to harvest at the end of week 11. Do you think that defoliating my girls would be a good idea? Should I take all big fan leaves? 🤔

Trimming Should I trim off the sun leaves since my plant is so frickin dense. I’m assuming that the light isn’t making its way down enough. I just don’t want to cut off something that could hurt my growth.

Trimming My plant is dense, all of the stems and flowers are close to the stalk. I was wondering if trimming all of the sun leaves to make room for sunlight would be a good idea, I don’t want to hurt my plant.
