Topping autos?

Showmethewaytogrowhomestarted grow question 4y ago

My next grow I’m going to use a trellis net to control my autoflower canopy. I think topping the girls might help. Can you tell me if it’s okay to top autos and your favoured approach? Thanks in advance!

No its not okay to top autos i know many people do but it will add alot of time onto your finished harvest times :) Autos have a predetermined life span so any stress you cause her will slow down that process and equal in stunting the plant though these are your plants bro do as you wish :)

Mnogumbaanswered grow question 4y ago

I have a small box with a height of 60cm. And if you take into account the height of the pot and the minimum distance to the lamp, then 35cm remains. Therefore, I did topping for auto. I removed the 2 lowest colas, and left 8 others. Everything above, I cut off. It turned out to be a small plant with a yield of 35 grams of dry buds.

Top her a second time?Do you think I should top her a second time, or is one cut enough? Should I consider flipping to 12/12 soon? I don't want to fill the outer squares of the net and give her some space. Thank you very much :)

How and when to train?Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

When to top Curious when you guys are topping. I have just entered week 4 and the 5th real pair of leaves is just developing. Should I top now or wait for the 6th? Root system should be fine by now for the plant to handle the stress, right?
