I've never topped an Autoflower, is it a wise...
Athosanswered grow question 6 years ago
Yes you can TOP or FIM autoflowers. The window of oportunity is much narrower though; It must be done above the 4th node (removign the 5th). Why not later? Because, autoflowers begin their flowering phase once the 5th pair of leaves fully opens. I have a diary on a Sweet Skunk auto that was FIM'ed like that if you want to check it.
From the look of your pictures, you are just in time to do it.

Hi there SHS, yeah i tried topping and not topping, topping really works if you don t stress your plant out too much and do some useful training on them. Autos stress easily, even transplanting to bigger pots stunts them a little ! If you're going to top them wait as long as possible usually until the bottom of week 3, then proceed with training as you normally would. Often you see folks top too early, dont be that guy ;-) hope this helps ! 🚀

What is your average Yield Per Plant?How much yall on average bring in per harvest or better yet, how much do yall yield per plant after curing? I feel like I'm doing something wrong, Super Silver Haze was looking really good but seems to have stopped growing now & the others are tall & thin.

Estimate yield?Fancy estimating yield size?
Appreciate that it would be a wild guess... But it's my first grow and my impatience is killing me!!! 😂
For me to guess yield size is second best to sampling... And we all know one shouldn't sample haha

Hi everyone, my baby just started the 5th week of flowering period and its flowering time is supposed to be between 6 to 7 weeks.
Now I don't know if I can start to flush the soil or I have to wait until the 6th week. What would you recommend for this last 2/3 weeks? Thank youWeek 11

How do you harvest in hydro (drip system with a tank) when some are late ?Half of the plants are late (chlorosis, iron toxicity, nitrogen overfd) on a scrog net. As individual flush is impossible, I guess I have no choice than having different batches of ambered trichomes ! And I thought about different strains next time, sweet dreams...

When and how to flush ? Top buds ready ? lower buds still immature ? (hydro)I'm a bit confused because all of my ladies have new calyxes and pistils after having had previously many issues. The buds exposed to the light look nearly ready but the trichs down under are not white enough. When to flush ? Can my plants stand an extended flush and still ripe?

LongevityAfter drying the buds can you vac seal with a bovada pack?
Or do you need to jar till happy then vac seal? I just wanna let it (ferment to let it get as nice smelling and tasting as possible.

CuringAs I have messed up curing twice already, when is the perfect time to cure? Research I read suggests when the outside of the buds are dry and the smallest branches start to snap when you bend them? Can anyone else suggest a good time or telltale sign it's ready to be cured?Week 14
