Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.
romi27started grow question 3 years ago
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?

It's a bit late, you should top autos at day 11-14 and only if they're happy and strong. Give her some time don't stress her anymore and start some LST after that. Next time try topping after the 2nd node.

Yeah like the other guys said - LST is your friend with autos and its time ti get started asap.

Going off previous comment but more detailed. Topping autos will not only stresss them out but will most likely cause them to flower which is the last thing you want from a plant your size right now. Use lst to even out your canopy instead of any kind of hard stress training(topping, super cropping, hard super cropping,ect.)
On another note those pistols you zoomed on don’t technically signify flower could and likely
Is pre sex if your plant is that size.
Best of luck.💚✌️🏼

No topping autos isn’t the best thing to do. With such a short vegetative period it’s not worth stressing the plant out. You don’t have the time to recover like a photo.
I mean it’s your plant there are no rules to say you can't but I personally would stick to LST with an autoflower.

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

Removing popcorn buds and small bottom branches/flowers on Week10Hi 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?

To Top or not to Top....So I plan to put in a screen and land up with a level canopy, hopefully.
Is it absolutely necessary to top your plants? (I’m nervous of messing it up like the noob I am)
And do my plants look ready to top? And do they look ok otherwise?Thank you

Top or lst and whenShould i top her and if yes, when? She is a fotoperiod but a very fast one, and she is probably ready to harvest around the beginning of September. She is about 3,5 weeks old now so she doesn't have that much time to grow I think. Same for my other plant, that us an auto.or lst?
