Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.
Should I have topped this one a couple days ago? These girls have been very vigorous. The only thing that gave me pause was these miniscule white pistils right here. Can I snip em, you think? Or bad idea? And if yes, should I FIM instead?

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. Thanks in advance โ๏ธ

Late topping to take direct clone from topping after 8 or 9 nodes?
Late topping to get a decent clone (two nodes) with first topping? What do you guys think, is there a too late for topping? Normaly i top only the tip and take clones later from branches. My girl nr.4 is three weeks behind she could catch up, cutting the clone from branches?

ATTENTION!!! Blue dream 420 fastbuds harvesters
Blue dream harvesters I need your help! I was reading the strain info on 420 fastbuds and It looks like they are suggesting to top it! I was under the impression that u won't supposed to top an auto. Have any of u topped this strain with success? I'll be growing this strain next!
