Topping Autoflowers?
Turbo420started grow question 3 years ago
Topping Autoflower Plants:
That’s my question in a nutshell. I have spent many hours on YouTube researching; 90% say never too, but then there are those who swear by it even with autos.
Thoughts?

We all get most of the same info on the NET. My thought is you have to try it in your environment to see if it works for you. You could be surprised on the outcome.

If you are certain all your other shit is one point.. and I mean ON POINT. I don’t think it’s a big deal. But I don’t recommend it if you’re still figuring other shit out (nutes,medium, environment, EVERYTHING else)

Man if you wanna top it so badly just dive off the deep end and do it. You’ll see what happens. It’s either going to work or it won’t.
Then you can take that experience for next time.

I say myth… with a caveat. The # weeks for full flower for the strain can’t be too short. When you do this type of HST the plant takes time to recover, this can be precious time lost for growth. If you know your strain, and general timeline for harvest, I’d say go ahead and top, but just once, and try to before week 3.

Not all autos react well i know that fastbuds genetics is the best to do this but u have to do it Early I think about two weeks in u can top and train them. It’s all about the timeing and strong genetics of auto flower

Cosa posso fare??aiutoooo!!Durante il supercropping mi è capitato di aprire una ferita nel fusto principale dove ho subito riallacciato la parte penzolante con lo scotch.
Ho paura che non si riprenda più o che il supercropping non funzioni.
Qualche consiglio?? La pianta è molto floscia.Week 4

Defficiency or light burn?I Had this on my previous plants, I'm starting to think it is light related as it seems to happen to the leaves closest to my mars hydro. I wonder what would be the best course of action here?
Ive added a tiny dose of calmag, can I supercrop this late into flower?

HST at week 2.5 in flower?I’m roughly in between weeks 2-3 of flowering and was wondering if I can still high stress train at this point? Some of the tallest branches are within 6 inches of the light and I expect them to gain a few more inches even. Light is also at max height.Week 7

Training Automatics - best practices!Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you!

Why do you top your plants?This isn’t really a question but I just wanted to show you guys the effectiveness of LST/HST. I did an 8 cola mainline last grow, so I’m very familiar with topping.
This is definitely a good method to achieve a topped canopy while reducing veg time:)

Accidentally super cropped my autoHello, I've accidentally snapped the main branch while doing some LST which resulted in an unwanted super crop. It's a Northern Lights auto and I'm worried it won't recover since it's already in flower. What do you guys think will the plant recover?

Topping/LST in same week or one week apart?Regarding manifolding/mainlining:
Is there any difference or what would be preferred between:
Topping as early as possible in week1 and LST new growtips in week2 vs letting stuff grow out for 2 weeks and Top and LST new growtips at the same time? Cheers 👍4 years ago

Broke Stem branch while main-liningNow it's standing straight up to heal
It's still growing and look healthy, but what recovery time should I expect?
Will it be strong enough to continue main-lining?
Should I just release the other branch?
Or wait until it's healed and continue?
Thanks for your tips and inputs!
