I wouldn't top her at this late stage, it will stunt her as she's showing signs of pre-flower ...best to top autos between day 14-20 at the 4 or 5th node! LST will really boost you potential yeild on this girl! Good Luck Buddy! 😊 DM me for more info, all my knowledge is growing autoflowers ✌️💚

Hello @MANC420! Usually you can top autoflowers between 3rd - 5th node. If you do it later it is very possible to have bad weird looking deformed buds. Happy growing! 👊

hey manc go ahead and fim it now, should be the best result with minimal stress, wait too much longer and she'll have passed the window for a pinch. Good luck lad ! 🚀

Hi @MANC420! With autos I usually top at node n°3, once node n°4 has developed tiny new growth. This makes me loose a part of the plant (1 node), but the recovery is much faster. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

She’s ready to top now from what I see. I’ve topped my autos in the past with good results, but then I tried FIM pinching instead and now prefer to FIM pinch instead. All you need to do is firmly pinch the new growth tip between your fingers, don’t remove anything. FIM pinching still promotes outward growth instead of upward, but stresses the plant less and you get to keep all of your existing growth instead of cutting some off. Good luck either way 👍

Its always the Question to top an automatic or not. Ive done it on resiliant strains (northern lights, Easy buddy And stress killer) i did not do it on my SWS Dark Devils. But i can strong recommend you Lst. Most of the Automatics respond very well to that and give you very Nice canopy with biig Buds ( Lokk into my Dark Devil Diary) there i did LST for the First time and They LIked it very much. You can start now any Training you want its the right time... Happy growing
