Hi. It does look like a success but if its not then you will have fimmed it which will still give you roughly what you want.

Are these autos stunned after topping
Are these auto's stunned? Seen few of ppl say on here can not top autos - that is a lie. You cant top autos once the pistils show. Proof. Side by side. 2 topped. 1 without.

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer no
no debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

Topping LSD and Acapulco Gold
Anyone have any experience topping LSD or Acapulco Gold Strains? I've never grown these strains before and am curious how they respond to topping. Going to do it anyway, just looking for any insight from someone who's done it before. Thanks!

To top or not to top (Again...would be 2nd time).
Should I top 1 more time? I have (Example pic) 4 good nodes at the end of the 2 main branches. Should I top these to allow the ones mid branch to pick up and boost or should I leave them now and just flip in a week or 2? Think they're near end of veg as not putting on any height!

Lollipop autoflowers
Hi guys, this is my fat banana auto. She's about 4 weeks old and growing happy. I have her in a very small pot cause of my space restrictions. She started flowering very early, and I'm concidering lollipopping her. Would that be ok timing to do so?

Auto's topping
How about Topping, Fiming, Lst, etc with Auto's? and whats better in outdoor? Is just willing to don't have a taller plants (in the case it happens) so the neighbour can't see, and increase the yield of course ehehe

Hey Guys! I’m doing two autos - Runtz Auto by Zamnesia. Currently entering the 3 week. They have precisely 15 days from seed. What do you think of topping? Or half topping? Regardless, i found some different answers, positive and negative about this method of training.
