Is it bad to top an autoflower at this stage?
WeednGuitarsstarted grow question 5y ago
I accidentally broke off the top of the plant while attempting to low stress train and now it came like this, kinda like topping.. is it bad to stress the plant this much since it's an auto on week 5? Honestly I think it's a mutant as it has lots of growth but stayed quite small.

It's never suggested to top an auto.. But there are Plenty of growers here and all over that have had great success with topping them. It really all comes down to the plants genetics when you do it.. She's looking healthy and i'm sure it won't even slow her down a bit! Keep growing!

IMO no, there is no flowering yet going on?
Don't trust me tho!

Yea it will affect and stunt since it’s still not in full flower mode ... at this point you should bend the whole stock down and let those smaller branches catch up and stretch so you can Atleast save most of your yield.

Topping !Hi! I transferred my plant into a bigger bag 2 days ago, it’s looking very positive and it bounced back. The 5th node is just coming up. I think I’m going to top tomorrow morning, Seems good ??plus should I train the plant straight away at all? (I’m gonna top only once) THANKS!

Topping an auto flowerI want to top the big wedding cake but I'm worried I waited too late and at the rate she is growing I think she is an auto (wasnt supposed to be). Should I go ahead and top her or just let her go? I have read lots of mixed reviews about topping autos.

3 weeks in. Fan leaves the size of my hand. Topped today. How long until 2nd topping?Directly planted seeds in organic living soil. These plants are vigorously growing, topped today. By the way things are going I believe that the recovery time will be very short.
All organic ingredients. De chlorinated water with vitamin c.
Fan leaves are larger then my hand

When do you start topping? Photoperiods need to LST? Can ya'll just go look at my diary and tell me if my ladies look like they should LOL.When to top or LST? Do these look stunted? I'm super curious about methods for best yield. I'm already worried my girls are leggy (but I've gotten some great advise already to let them rest but also give them bigger pots soon). Planted March 20th. Pictures from today.

Transplant Before or After Training?Just starting third week of veg and all plants have 3 or 4 nodes. I'm planning on topping and manifolding them. When should I move from 1L to 7L (final home)? Before or after I start training? I want to minimize any shock/recovery to the plant

should I top some more?I topped once.. from one main high cola I got 4 per plant.. on one plant after LST it seems next small ones are appearing.
Should I top again to get more colas? My original plan was to go with SCRoG and I still haven't decided if I'll do it (I think there's still time)Techniques. Topping
