Autos should be toped above the 4th node, removing the 5th pair of leaves. Personally I would not top outdoors, for some reason they just grow much slower than when indoors.

Its and auto so I wouldn't top now, as you wont give her enough time to recover before going into flower and they need at least a week after topping. You want her to go into flower strong and stable to set her up for a good yield and harvest, you can still get some big autos and yields without topping (Check my stardawg & girlscoutcookies diary) that will show you theres no need to top, not worth the risk. Any advice just ask, happy to help. Hope this helps

I'm going into flowering stage soon and was wondering about defoliation of the lower leaves after doing some LST - stretching out branches horizontally... Should I remove the lower leaves, focus on the bud sites access to light?

This is my first grow. Everything seems to be looking okay so far. On day 17, I cut the center out of the top node. I see two new nodes growing nicely now. Do I need to prune more at this point? Thanks, iGrowZ

Do you recommend defoliation on any main fan leaves that are hurting you light penetration and simply cannot be trained in a different place specifically on auto flowers ?

It appears that at least one of my two remaining plants had been pollinated by the hermaphrodite before I removed it. Any tips on making sure I harvest these seeds at the right time to maximize their viability for future grows?

Does anyone have experience with scrogging autoflowers? I'm curious if they respond well to the netting, or if there were any other successful ways of supporting the plants that would allow more mobility for turning and such. Thanks All!

When to start defoliating Can I defoliate nodes one and two now? Her grow rate has been really slow so I thought I could get rid of one and two so she focuses growth on height.

Has anyone had any grow complications due to a light? I don’t want the problem to be the light I have taken a precaution. But if it comes to it I’d rather order a new one that’s not like this as it’s the first time I’ve seen orange and yellow added? Am I over thinking it?
