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.

Blue Dream Autos with Downturned Leaf Tips23 days old. One started showing downturned leaf tips on new growth; others followed. Looks off-color, at least one is in early bloom. They’re in coco, 3-gal pots, 480W QB at 50cm, 2.2 EC daily, no pH check. Problems started after adjusting watering for larger plants. Any tips?

Gorilla Cookies Auto - But Purple?About 2-3 days ago my Fast Buds Gorilla Cookies Plant developed some purple pistol hairs (photo). However Gorilla Cookies shouldn't be a purple plant, except for the leaves? Is this normal, a rare genetic mutation or did I get a wrong seed?

Amber and still many clear trichomesApproaching harvest time and im confused with still seeing a lot of clear trichomes.
I identify already about 40%+ amber trichomes at the top of the main cola fading to 20% amber in the middle of it.
Lower buds/colas have 20% amber.
Am i just overreacting over nothing?

Leaf-tips going droopy modeAfter my second to last watering the tips of all of the leaves started to droop a bit. I though it was connected to the night-cycle of my light, but it continues to worsen every day. However I only watered after the soil was dry too the touch? Is it really overwatering or else?
