I experimented and topped one of my autos. It grew to the same size as the others in the end.

Plants growing at different ratesI have 4 different Sativas on the go - 2 of them are really stretching tall, and I'm having to really train them hard to keep them relatively the same height as the other 2. How best to handle plants of the differing heights and grow rates in a 4x4 tent?Week 5

Autoflower topping?... and if so, when is best?My friend is recommending that I top at the fifth node with the knowledge I'm growing autos.
However, many grower's here discourage it completely for autos.
What's the best practise? I've never topped so this may need spelling out for me.
Thanks in advance ✂️Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Rate my LSTThird round of topping.
Trying to bend the branches in the usual way so "pulling down", the "Y split" in the topping sites always break/open.
So I'm trying this way with ropes and engraved sticks to PUSH the branches away from the inside.
What do you think? Alternatives?
