Remove lowest autoflower shoots? Yes or no?
Hi there!! I'm quite inexperienced when it comes to autoflowers.. What would you say.. when the stretch is done, should I prune (remove the lowest 2 shoots & secondary shoots)? Normally I would do that to a photoperiod, but this one grows really quick. Thank you!! π

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

Topping LSD and Acapulco Gold
Anyone have any experience topping LSD or Acapulco Gold Strains? I've never grown these strains before and am curious how they respond to topping. Going to do it anyway, just looking for any insight from someone who's done it before. Thanks!

Show I cut main stem?
Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.

Topping
Never topped plants before, this is my first time growing and with the tight spacing of the nodes might have damaged the little growth in the crotch when I cut... Should I be ok or did I potentially damage the yield potential? Should be able to zoom in on last few pics of week 3
