I topped on day 18 from seed. You can check out my Cap'n style grow. Couple pictures there. Topping is fairly easy and lots of literature online. Good luck.

Accidently topped my autoflower, we it survive/rebound?
Day 24 in my first ever grow. Mephisto northern cheese haze auto. Did a round of LST/Tucking last night, woke up to a fully broken off top growth of the main stem, effectively topping it(?). Is there anything I can/should do? Will it bounce back or should I start another grow?

To top, or not to top?
I held off too long with the decision and now pre-flowers have just started to appear. So I'm posed with the question: top her or not? If yes, between which nodes would you top her?

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?
Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest? Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching? Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)

LST method, topping and switching to flower!
Please look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going good so far but think I need to wait a little longer before topping? Anyone have a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower, am I rushing things🙏

Topping Training :)
Hello everyone, I just repotted my baby into a 2 gallon bag yesterday. This is what it looks like. Just because of the height of my box (60”) I’m gonna top the plant once, then train it I think this is what I’m most comfortable in. Any better ideas ? + when to top !? :)

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 ✂️

So since this is my first grow autoflowers is it still okay to top autoflowers or film them? I don't have much experience with the autoflowers.
