Topping autos?

Showmethewaytogrowhomestarted grow question 4 years 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 4 years 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.

Why are my fan leaves canoeing?After topping all plants (from 6 nodes to down to the 3rd node), the two main fan leaves started canoeing and looking crispy on half of them. All other growth is ok. What would cause this and why wouldn't all plants be affected?

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?

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer no no debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

Late topping to take direct clone from topping after 8 or 9 nodes?Late topping to get a decent clone (two nodes) with first topping? What do you guys think, is there a too late for topping? Normaly i top only the tip and take clones later from branches. My girl nr.4 is three weeks behind she could catch up, cutting the clone from branches?

Grow strategy for 2 ILGM Purple Punch Autos I'm told this is a bushy strain and I might want to top the plant? Suggestions? If so when/how? Should I split strategies between 2 plants to see whats better for this strain? I know I'm probably over thinking it. But come on you remember when you first started. :)

Topping LSD and Acapulco Gold Anyone have any experience topping LSD or Acapulco Gold Strains? I've never grown these strains before and am curious how they respond to topping. Going to do it anyway, just looking for any insight from someone who's done it before. Thanks!
