Being a total novice when it comes to autos I was wondering should I top her soon, leave it a while or not top at all? I keep reading conflicting reports so thought I'd ask actually growers. Thanks in advance :)

Hi @Undercovergrower! If it's your first time with autos, you might consider letting the plant grow in its natural shape with no HST operations such as topping or fimming. LST works well with autos but HST manipulations usually stunt the growth for a week or more. Remember with autos, loosing time is loosing yield. However if you're confident about this and if you're not hurry to smoke your buds, you can try to top her at the 3rd node after the 4th node has developed. This way, you loose a part of the plant, but the recovery / new growth happens much faster. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

hey @Undercovergrower ! I advise you to let it cycle because manipulating autoflowering can be very beneficial or catastrophic when not used but if a SOG is very suitable for autoflowering

trim auto for compact grow (space bucket)I want to focus on a few colas when growing this compact, 5gal bucket is max width. Should I leave the 4 or 5 fittest and trim the lower branches off entirely or just let the taller dominate and avoid stressing this auto (space is the obvious issue here)? 🙏thanks community.

Defoliating Autos in Flower Hi, I'm in the middle of my first grow with autos and could do with advice on defoliation. You'll see from my diaries that things are OK so far but I've got issues with high humidity now that I'm going into flowering. Will it be safe defoliating them now or will it shock them?
