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.

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?

Could it be possible to keep a very tall sativa strain like Shogun ('Indoors 90-140 cm') to a maximum height of about 60 cm using training techniques?

Topping ready?
This plant has 4 sets of fan leaves with its 5th beginning to develop. Would this be a suitable time to top the plant?

Would you/should I top these?
I am unsure whether to do a final topping. My thinking is that I don’t want to have shoots growing inward but sideways so I’d had to top at the points I marked. But there’s two nodes above that. Isn’t that too much to cut off? Pictures show cutting point and what’s above that.

Topping autoflower?
I topped my RQS Medusa F1 autoflower at 2 nodes but topped my RQS Milky Way F1 autoflower at 3 nodes. My question is which is better or should I have done it at 4 nodes? This is my first time topping autos and I'm experimenting. Would appreciate some advice. 💚🌱✌️
