Hey Servus Mate, With a fem, no Problem. In case she wouldn't take the topping well you could extend Veg for a few days until she's better on. Personally I wouldn't do it to an Automatic plant. Too less time to recover and additional Stress because of the transission from Veg to bloom. Don't think that would be a smart idea. Good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way🤞 Servus✌️ OimRausch

If it is an auto, I would say don't do it. If it is a photoperiod plant, I would say it is not ideal, but probably do-able. Usually it takes 2-3 weeks for a plant to fully recover from topping and resume normal growth. Hope this helps,.......... Organoman.

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!

As you can see, one of my plants is a few inches taller than the others. They've all been topped 3 times for 8 mains, but I'm wondering whether I should top the big plant 1 more time in an effort to achieve a more uniform canopy height before flipping to 12-12.

Are these autos stunned after topping Are these auto's stunned? Seen few of ppl say on here can not top autos - that is a lie. You cant top autos once the pistils show. Proof. Side by side. 2 topped. 1 without.

Topping an auto flower I want to top the big wedding cake but I'm worried I waited too late and at the rate she is growing I think she is an auto (wasnt supposed to be). Should I go ahead and top her or just let her go? I have read lots of mixed reviews about topping autos.
