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.

To top or not to top an autoflower As I can read when googling, it’s a hit or miss to top and auto. What’s your experience? Should I go for it? My plant just started her third week.
