now is a good time to top them as they have more than 5 nodes. I take my down to the third or fourth.. It really depends on how tall you want your plant to be the lower you top the shorter and bushier it becomes.. also I wouldn't top until a week after transplant or top and then wait a week to transplant.. don't need two shocks back to back! Happy Growing! 👊

It’s totally up to you when to top or FIM, I topped mine at the 5th node but I can be done as early as the 3rd node.
It will slow the growth.
Top and wait a week or two then LST, I’ve had great results there.
Hope that helps

LST possible?Is it possible or even beneficial to do some lst on them?
The internode space is very tight and the stems are not flexible, plus they started preflower.
They are 4 week old autoflowers and I feel like the lower leaves don't get enough light.

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?

Early flower and plant too small?Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx?

Lower leaves too pale or yellowing?I am noticing the lower leaves of my Royal Critical Automatic to be much more pale green than the top of the plant.
Is this a nutrient/light/watering/lst stress problem if at all?

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First GrowMy plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

Enough LST for an autoflower?I was wondering how much LST and how intense the LST on an auto should be? I heard you shouldn't stress autos too much, that's why I'm extra careful and wanted to ask. (And yes I know it's overwatered, I'm letting it dry out at the moment)
