If your going to top an autoflower make sure it's a strain that handles it well. If you cannot find information then it would be an experimental test for you as it's your first grow with that strain and trying it. I top, lst, and defoliate my plants. Autoflowers and photoperiods. Just know not all Autoflowers can handle HST. Some do, some don't. Check my OG Diesel Kush autoflower diary out for a fast strong growing autoflower.
Best tip for growing Autoflowers is use light and airy soils. The more the roots can breath the bigger and faster they can grow.

You should stray from topping autos - they do not have the same recovery time in Veg as photoperiods.

I top when the 4 node comes out (around 3weeks) give it a weeks rest an top again. After that start lst to train her out how you prefer. If she recovers fast can top sooner an get a 3rd top in.

Been very Humid the past 3 Weeks. Rainfall increased too in South Germany.
Treated it with Neem Oel. I think/hope it stopped spreading. Been observing it for a week now and always treating it with a very thin mixture of Neem Oel.Week 15

Too many colas? (Serious)I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough spaceBuds. Other

Edible out of fresh harvestHi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?Buds. Other

Bract/calyx turning brownHey fellow growmies,
i noticed brown bract/calyxes on one of my plants. (week 12, auto, 20 % amber)

Homegrown Purple haze has no effect Anyone knows whyMy purple haze I grew has no effect when smoking it, you feel a little lighter and a bit happier but there is no trip at all. I used some pure sativa's before and they were not like this. Why is my bud like this maybe the terpenes? my previous plants didn't have this problem.Week 11

Is something wrong with my plants?My plants are getting white “spots“ on the buds what look like new pistils. They get Biobizz Grow, Bloom, and Top Max, a little bit Rhizotonic an Calmag. The lighter one is a Sour Diesel and the other one a Special Queen 1 by RQS. They are in FW 8 under 150W LED. 65W LED in VegBuds. Other
