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

Bending branchI decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

Outdoor growers: fim/top?I want to make sure to clarify that this question is only for outdoor growers with a photoperiod limited solely by the nature of the changing seasons.
Should I even bother with fim/topping? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Let me know your thoughts, or even better, resultsSetup. Outdoor

Two main branches split the stalk due to over trainingI topped an autoflower plant, and I over trained it. The plant stalk has split between the two main branches that are being trained. I removed the training wire hoping that the plant will heal itself. Is there anything else I should do or put on it to help it heal?

HST tipsHi, my grow brothers and sisters!
I'm planning to do HST training to largest one of my plants, cos it is (to my joy) - too big. Other babies for, like, two times smaller now. I'll do this for the first time and I'm really nervous about it.
Any tips for me to do it right enoughWeek 4

When to start training, I've got 6 of the FFs from fastbuds. Looking for some ideas or suggestions on how to approach this run, hoping for a mega yielTraining advice. I've been doing autos for a while and I'm used to lst. This being my first fem run, I'm wanting to keep the height of these as uniform as can be, any tips on when I should start training them and any opinions/suggestions on things I can do to increase my yield.

LSTGood day!
I have a question for experienced growers who've used LST.
The stem usually branches out to 2 branches, one of which is just one big leaf and the other branch has nodes & other branches.
Do you put the branch with the big leaf below the rest, above or prune it?
Thx!

Lollipopping autos? I topped these autos to see how they would do. So far so well on all but one. But has anyone lollipopped the lower bud sites off or even lower growth that won't mature? I'm thinking about it but looking to see if anyone has any experience

Novato en Super CroppingHe hecho Super Cropping por primera vez (newbie)
He seguido el tutorial de Royal Queen Seeds y he doblado el tallo con los dedos suavemente hasta que el tallo ha quedado a 90 º , pero NO he oido el "clack"
¿Lo he hecho correctamente? ¿Debo hacerlo de otra forma?
Gracias!

Tallo principal partido!Ayer me encontré el tallo principal partido por la mitad! 😮
Hay mucha tensión porque las dos ramas superiores se han hecho muy grandes y pesan mucho tras topping y supercropping
Lo he atado con un cable metalico recubierto de plastico
¿Haríais algo más para ayudarla?

Snapped (Superscropped) autoglowerWell, my idiot ass accidentally cropped (when you not break but flatten) the main stem during flower. The top of the stem.
I did it before to photoperiods, but i wonder, will it make a lot of stress? If so girl could be a hermo? If so, could it affect other girls later?

Remove lowest autoflower shoots? Yes or no?Hi there!! I'm quite inexperienced when it comes to autoflowers..
What would you say.. when the stretch is done, should I prune (remove the lowest 2 shoots & secondary shoots)?
Normally I would do that to a photoperiod, but this one grows really quick. Thank you!! 😊

Forced supercrop due to lack of waterHello mates, one of my plants bent its branches due to lack of water (I wasn't at home for a few days), and three of them has broken, even partially RIPPED. I put a tape so it can recover from the damage. Should I worry about this? She looks fine after a day (straighten up).
