To top or not on auto?
Sooperdooper
started grow question 5y ago
Would it be good to Top/fim this plant? It seems to be growing consistently, I don't want to do anything to reduce the yields though.

Topping Error
I made a topping by mistake today. I broke while checking the plant :(( I cut too much from the bottom and also cut a fan leaf. Do you think there is a problem? In this case, is fertilizer given?

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?
I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think. I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?

Indian Mango- 17 weeks outside grow and no flower! Need Advice
Im Growing Indian Mango Weed in the open. It's been 17 weeks since I put the seed. It's grown about 5 feet but no flowering as yet. The weather has changed to monsoon now. 2-3 hours of sun at max with high 70-80% humidity. Will it flower any time soon ? Pics are shared.

Topping In Tiny Places
I’ve been topping my autos in a 3.8 sf stealth cabinet religiously at the 20ish day. In hydro that is around node 6-7. Would topping earlier giving the speed of growth that hydro provides, say at 3-4 node, make the plant less bushy and easier to manage? Ideas for tiny places?

Late topping to take direct clone from topping after 8 or 9 nodes?
Late topping to get a decent clone (two nodes) with first topping? What do you guys think, is there a too late for topping? Normaly i top only the tip and take clones later from branches. My girl nr.4 is three weeks behind she could catch up, cutting the clone from branches?

Putting back into veg before pistils and sexual maturity?
Can you veg even after a 12/12 from seed has been in flower room 3 weeks shes just not big enough and would also like to top her so I really am considering it, the reason being is I can't see one pistil yet which means she's not mature, I don't see why it would make a difference

FIMIN During Flower?
Hey guys. I'm wk 3 in flower and I was just wondering how far into this stage yall will continue to FIM for tops? I have held off for the logic that they need energy for bud form but how far have yall pushed them? Do you have a specific time that you just refuse to touch the girl

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

LST after Topping
When would you start doing LST after doing a topping? I have topped about 3 days ago now, and have good growth from the new sites, about 1/2 inch of stock coming from the tops. Worried if I LST a little too early those new tops might not be grown enough yet!

Blue dream harvesters I need your help! I was reading the strain info on 420 fastbuds and It looks like they are suggesting to top it! I was under the impression that u won't supposed to top an auto. Have any of u topped this strain with success? I'll be growing this strain next!
