Generally you top at the 3rd or 5th but it's really a personal choice. I've always topped at the 3rd but that's how I was taught all those years ago . Good luck with your grow.

Beheaded Auto!!!
damn! I accidentally beheaded my lady, I'm on the fifteenth day you say it will cause damage or is it simply like having "topping"? I patched the same type of seed 4 days ago and she reacted well. but this is broken and it creates fear in me

Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.
Should I have topped this one a couple days ago? These girls have been very vigorous. The only thing that gave me pause was these miniscule white pistils right here. Can I snip em, you think? Or bad idea? And if yes, should I FIM instead?

Cuando hacer corte apical en automáticas?
He visto que muchos cultivadores tienen buenos resultados junto al LST, por ende, cuándo debería hacer un corte apical a mis automáticas? Es realmente recomendable o debería dejar que los fenotipos muestren si genética original?

To top or not?
Should I top "No. 3"? She is at 30cm after day 16 and her 5th set of true leaves are starting to sprout? I think she can handle it 🤔

Big green blisters lol
Are these from stressing the plant, or more sinister? I read somewhere that it might be a nutrient thing but I just want closure lol 👊 also quick question on when to put these bad girls into flower?

Topping at two weeks?
I wonder what the effect of topping so early will have? Week two is pretty unconventional, with most preferring 3-5 weeks. She seems pretty happy though. Hopefully this will give maximum uninterrupted ( minus of course the LST ) veg time now.

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?
I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds). The description says SCROG and LST work good. I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier. I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations. Should I?

LST method, topping and switching to flower!
Please look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going good so far but think I need to wait a little longer before topping? Anyone have a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower, am I rushing things🙏
