I would think so right? Although the root system should handle an increase? Thoughts

I leave it as is. Doesn't seem to do any adverse effects. I just treat them as normal.

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?Week 3

Is LST and Toping a good option at the same time ?Hi,
I would like to know if it's ok to LST and do topping ?
Or it's better to do 1 , then wait 4-5 days and then to the other ?

Thanks again3y ago

Auto training techniques lst/hst/toppingJust about to start a few auto flowers, will be my second auto grow. Any tips for best training methods? I know lst is most popular but any recommendations on which one works best? Also any advice on topping? Lots of people say don’t but lots of growers seem to do this. Thanks!5y ago

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,

Training techniques. DWC indicaIn a mostly indica strain, for a 2x4 tent and a 240W LED. Does it pay off to top 2x? I have 5 nodes of new growth after topping and not sure what my next steps should be. I am training the entire thing but feeling like I should do something additional. Thx for any suggestionsWeek 5

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?)?2y ago

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 trimmed2y ago
