Hi mate, i would say she is a little young to start topping. I would wait till the forth node in established before cutting anything off. Good luck and happy growing

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.
Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed

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?

Hey Guys! I’m doing two autos - Runtz Auto by Zamnesia. Currently entering the 3 week. They have precisely 15 days from seed. What do you think of topping? Or half topping? Regardless, i found some different answers, positive and negative about this method of training.

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!

should I top some more?
I topped once.. from one main high cola I got 4 per plant.. on one plant after LST it seems next small ones are appearing. Should I top again to get more colas? My original plan was to go with SCRoG and I still haven't decided if I'll do it (I think there's still time)

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.

Auto's topping
How about Topping, Fiming, Lst, etc with Auto's? and whats better in outdoor? Is just willing to don't have a taller plants (in the case it happens) so the neighbour can't see, and increase the yield of course ehehe

Topping o no hacer nada a esta fotodependiente
Estoy dudando si hacer Topping o no hacerle nada Tiene 24 días de vida. Empezó en maceta de 3 litros, y se ha pasado a maceta de 15 litros en el dia 22 Está en el sexto nudo de crecimiento ¿Le harías topping o fimming o dejarla crecer libremente? La veo tan sana y bonita...

LST/Topping for autoflowers?
Growing an afghan kush auto and a skunk villain auto (both 5 gal pots) in a snug 2.5 x 2.5. Wanting a uniform height I wasn't sure if I should top and/or train either- was thinking LST for the Skunk? Would also like to keep height mod. without sacrificing too much on the harvest.

Should I top?
Hi everyone, I am a bit in two minds if I should top and mainline this beautiful lady. If I decide to do any topping it should happen this week. Please let me know what you growers would do :) I might have left this too late as she has grown a lot. Regards, Weedwhisperer
