As long as they happen around the same time, the order doesn't matter much. Plants recover better in the dark so do it before lights out. Otherwise, you're good to go!

Top before lights out. Then give a light feeding of Epsom salts 100ppm.

To top or not to top an autoflower
As I can read when googling, it’s a hit or miss to top and auto. What’s your experience? Should I go for it? My plant just started her third week.

Top the plant again or not?
Hello growers, I have a question, I already top this 2 plants and I’m doing lst, and later I’ll use the scrog, but can I top it again? Should I do it or isn’t worth it? I read it could lower the finally quantity yield, and that is some stress to the plant. Is it worth?

Should I top It?
I’m wondering if this is the right moment to do a top cut (apical pruning). Should I wait a bit longer, or is it fine to do it now? Also, is it okay to top a FastBuds autoflower, or is it too risky? I’m dealing with some space limitations, only 52cm of vertical space. Thanks

NL #5 x Haze (70% sativa) height control
At what height would you recommend initiating 12/12 to prevent this strain from over-stretching after topping each plant twice to produce four tops? I hope to finish them at 3-4ft. Would I get away starting 12/12 at 9-11 inches?

Top or lst and when
Should i top her and if yes, when? She is a fotoperiod but a very fast one, and she is probably ready to harvest around the beginning of September. She is about 3,5 weeks old now so she doesn't have that much time to grow I think. Same for my other plant, that us an auto.or lst?
