answered grow question 5y 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.

Topping Green Crack Auto
Should I top fast buds green crack auto flower? Its vertical growth is incredible. Just curious if I could top it now with the benefit of increase yield along with less vertical growth.

4 Branch or 2 Branch Grow?
After a 2-node top, I left 4 main branches for this 18 x 24 cabinet. 8 branch grow is a jungle from experience, but any idea if a 2-branch grow would be better than a 4 branch grow with my given space?

How to top to make more colas (mainline)
I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

Removing popcorn buds and small bottom branches/flowers on Week10
Hi guys, Day66 with my autoflower, 3 more weeks to go before harvest. This is my 1st grow so I didn’t do too much besides LST. No topping, no fimming etc. Is it safe to remove the popcorn buds from the bottom and some small branches that don t reach light? Will this hurt her? Ty

Too early to top?
Is it too early to top the plant below the top nodes? Trying to not get ahead of myself or be too hasty since this is my first grow. Would it be worth it at this point or would it be better to get some more growth in?

Topping/Cloning Question
I am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.

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

Autoflower topping?... and if so, when is best?
My friend is recommending that I top at the fifth node with the knowledge I'm growing autos. However, many grower's here discourage it completely for autos. What's the best practise? I've never topped so this may need spelling out for me.

To cut or not to cut ?
Hi buddies, my girl is in the 2' bloom week and I'm uncertain if I have to cut the flowers of the lower part of the buds or not. I want only dense buds and not lollipops. Here 3 pics: the flowers are circled in red, the branch from bottom in blu and the whole bud. Many thx 🙏
