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.

Are the girls ready for flower??Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?

4x4 16 Plant Veg Time and Training Hello guys, I am planning on flowering these 16 ladies in my 4x4, but I am unsure of how long to veg and what training to utilize for maximum yield. I was thinking 3-4 weeks? Or maybe longer? Is topping in such a tight space a good idea? If yes then at what time? Thanks!

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds). The description says SCROG and LST work good. I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier. I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations. Should I?

Topping auto northern light I'm considering topping my northern lights auto one of the following days, as it's starting to grow towards its 4th node. Most diaries I've seen for this strain take 12+ weeks, so that seems like it should have some time to recover from that. Anyone has any experience w auto top?

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?

Are these plants ready for topping/LST? 2 have just gotten to 6th node and one to 5th (was planted 4-5 days after first two)Looking to top all three and potentially manifold at least one of these plants. Only concern is I just transplanted them in tuesday. They look great but I just want to make sure they are out of the woods on transplant shock before i start hacking away at them.
