For all the auto growers should I top?
TheGreenQueen420started grow question 4 years ago
Can I ask the auto growers would you advise topping? I’ve read I can top if they are growing well and around the end of week 3?
I’m in two minds whether to top say three of them or all as it is my first time with autos. I don’t want to regret not topping.
Any advice many thanks

Hey Growmie,
As an experienced autoflower grower, I would advise not to, for some reason when you top autos their buds don't get as dense compared to a plant that hasn't been topped. I would recommend LST they respond very well to it. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"

Heya Greenqueen420!
I would not top autoflower plants, they like the least amount of stress possible as they have a limited life span. The best technique with autos is to just LST them. Myself and other growers I have talked to have seen a decline in yields when topping and heavily defoliating autos.
Good luck with the grow!

When topping autos It must be done, removing the 5th or 6th node, no later than that or it will start flowering. Which is fairly soon, usually at the end of week 2 ir early week 3

It's really up to you. You can top or LST, just remember not to stress the plant after it starts to flower. Now would be a good time to do any training.

What is that?Yesterday evening feed 0.5 litre EC 1400 pH 5.9. Runoff was EC 900 pH5.6
Increased light intensity to PPFD 600.
This morning larger upper leaves are in "praying" position, one leaf closer to bottom looks sick.
If it's a light burn, why not on upper leaves?

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?
