answered grow question 4y ago
You can and some strains go dream but mostly it's not recommended. Autos just don't get the recovery time they need heading into flower. On YouTube the channel FromSeedtoStoned covered the topic really well.

Did I wait too long to top?
I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?

When to take your top off?
When is the best time to top? What exactly is a node? Is it the start of new growth on the main trunk?

Top the plant again or not?
Hello growers, I have a question, I already top this 2 plants and I’m doing lst, and later I’ll use the scrog, but can I top it again? Should I do it or isn’t worth it? I read it could lower the finally quantity yield, and that is some stress to the plant. Is it worth?

Training techniques. DWC indica
In 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 suggestions

She’s looking really bushy, did I top her too early?
Did I top her too early? She’s become real bushy and leafy. Not sure if I should be trimming the lower area yet or just let her grow. About 4 weeks in veg. Thanks!
