If you haven't topped photos before, then start with that.
- Once you get consistent results, with only 1 - 2 days healing time needed, before they start growing again.. It won't be too much of an issue topping autos.
The problem with topping autos, is that, if you do it badly It can result in the plant needing 1 - 2 weeks of healing, and you ending up with a tiny plant because of it.

If you cut autos then you may have more even colas, but you may also have a much smaller plant. Lst is the main training method for autos. Cheers

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds).
The description says SCROG and LST work good.
I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier.
I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations.
Should I?

Top now or wait? Growing 4th node.I'm about a week into veg, plants look to be about 4-6 inches tall. Most are going into their 4th node. Should I wait longer or is now a good time? Also, should I wait for all plants to be at around the same stage or should I top the ones that are ready first?

Topping auto northern lightI'm considering topping my northern lights auto one of the following days, as it's starting to grow towards its 4th node. Most diaries I've seen for this strain take 12+ weeks, so that seems like it should have some time to recover from that. Anyone has any experience w auto top?Week 2

When Should I Top My Plants?I plan on moving the plants outdoors within the next week or two. I'm going to be topping them, but I'm wondering if I should do it now during their last week inside or wait until I transplant and they're accustomed to the outside weather. Thanks in advance!Week 6
