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.

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.

Should i top her? Or too late
Should i top her? I haven't trained her at all. The day/night scheme will be 14/10 for the first time in August 25th, 12/12 a few weeks later. So she will start flowering in a few weeks and she will only flower for 6 weeks since she is a fast version.

Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.
Should I have topped this one a couple days ago? These girls have been very vigorous. The only thing that gave me pause was these miniscule white pistils right here. Can I snip em, you think? Or bad idea? And if yes, should I FIM instead?

When can I start flowering my freshly topped plants?
Can I start instantaneously or do I need to wait until the stems of the nodes are thicker and more mature?

to top or not to top
I would like to top my plant but this is my first time I am doing this. The plant is in veggie week 3 under 16/8, about 19cm tall. What do you think? Can I cut in two days? Should I cut at the red line or at the blue line (see picture attached)?

Topping Error
I made a topping by mistake today. I broke while checking the plant :(( I cut too much from the bottom and also cut a fan leaf. Do you think there is a problem? In this case, is fertilizer given?

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?

Topping autoflower?
I topped my RQS Medusa F1 autoflower at 2 nodes but topped my RQS Milky Way F1 autoflower at 3 nodes. My question is which is better or should I have done it at 4 nodes? This is my first time topping autos and I'm experimenting. Would appreciate some advice. 💚🌱✌️

Should I top her a second time?
I know some people believe topping autos is a bad idea but so far I've had great results. I have only ever topped autoflowers a single time. Never twice. Wondering if anyone has experience with topping more than once? If so, how did it turn out?

Top or lst? And if yes, when?
Should i top her and if yes, when? She is a fotoperiod but a very fast one, and she is probably ready to harvest around the beginning of September. She is about 3,5 weeks old now so she doesn't have that much time to grow I think. Same for my other plant, that us an auto.or lst?

Topped the same way with 2 different results?? First time grower
I tried to top 2 plants in the same way but one main shoot stopped growing, but the other had two new growths come right out of the old stem, as well as 2 bushier side stems. I am just wondering what I did differently and if both plants should work out fine. Video to show...
