I personally like to save topping for photoperiod plants. When it comes to autos I like to use LST to increase top production 🌱

I do not top auto's. Instead when they get their 4th or 5th node I start low stress training. With photo plants I will often top after the 5th node.

Hi there. With this being an auto if you want to top then now is the time. Take off the top after the 5th set of nodes.

Accidental cloning?I did something stupid today call it a learning curve. But I trimmed a few fan leaves to open up for flowering and wasn’t looking and cut of a bud site. I put it in some soil with some water. Will that take root? Is that an accidental cloning?
