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.

Topping, lst Hi beautiful ppl! I topped and bended my plants over a week ago. Most of them reacted great, and became more bushy. One haven't developed any side branches, and none on the place of topping.. just same number of fan leaves continues to grow 😕 what can it be?

Should I top It?I’m wondering if this is the right moment to do a top cut (apical pruning). Should I wait a bit longer, or is it fine to do it now? Also, is it okay to top a FastBuds autoflower, or is it too risky? I’m dealing with some space limitations, only 52cm of vertical space. Thanks

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?)?

To top or not to top (Again...would be 2nd time).Should I top 1 more time? I have (Example pic) 4 good nodes at the end of the 2 main branches. Should I top these to allow the ones mid branch to pick up and boost or should I leave them now and just flip in a week or 2? Think they're near end of veg as not putting on any height!
