To top or not to top?
The_Projexxanswered grow question 6 years ago
You can top her , its important to understand tho that when dealing with autos it has to be done early in order to give time to heal and continue growing because of the rate of growth of an auto . With that being said you always wanna make sure that the isnt showing any signs of preflower anything like that because you dont wanna stress her out and then stunt her in growth . To me topping is only really a method of training your plant to grow wider , just because you top your plant doesn't always mean more yield . I did a test on a diary to see and the plant that I didn't top actually yielded more then the plants I had topped . So to answer your question topping is really a preference thing , some people will swear by it and some people won't at the end of the day the choice is yours :) I hope this information helps shed some light into your grow :D -Happy Growing!

yes top ! and if you're gonna top top now bro, dont sleep on this, she'll push out her first pistils soon and it will be too late. Even FIM if you want it will be a less stressful thing, and sometimes even better results with some autos. Main thing is that you should top now, and not later! hope this helps my friend ! 🚀

Are these to early to pick?So number one is 100% ready to go, obviously for ease, I'd like to do the whole crop at once. So I just want to know if you guys think these pods are far enough along to dry? I mean the buds themselves not the tricks. Last 4 pics in week I commented themWeek 11

Is it drying right? It seems notI put these plants out to dry in the Herb Dryer and they still look pretty wet, even some that I let dry earlier still look wet a few weeks ago.
- Can I put it to cure now or wait a few more days? I really can't lower the humidity in the room anymore.

14th day of dry. Small bit of offcut bud reading 58% in 1 ounch grove bag overnight.14th day of dry. Temp/RH have been around 60/60, but not getting snap from stems. Did trim yesterday and took a good deal of dry leaves by simply pulling gently / running the scissors over them. Would you cut and jar at this point or leave until stems are brittle?

How do I figure "wet" weight on this big girl?She's been outside, so I plan to wash the buds and then do a wet cure. (using for edibles). I'm doing a rough trim before I soak her, but still have a lot of weight in branches. Is this expected for 'wet' weight? Is the final weight after fully drying and trimming? Thanks!
