Should I top her a second time?
Granddaddy_Terpstarted grow question 4y ago
I know some people believe topping autos is a bad idea but so far I've had great results. I have only ever topped autoflowers a single time. Never twice. Wondering if anyone has experience with topping more than once? If so, how did it turn out?

just keep in mind that is automatic,you should aim to reduce days of stress to increase the yield but,if,the plant is healty,if she has already recovered and you still have time before flowering,do it ffs!
Good luck!
Just checked out your diary ๐๐คฆโโ๏ธ i dont think you have time to do it ๐คทโโ๏ธ yyou should have already topped her the second time in my opinion...

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 didnโt 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. That is the question.Hey Growers. Looking for some advice. Would you suggest flowering next week-10 days with 7 big tops/plant or top and veg 1-2 weeks having 14/plant and maybe Scrog. This will be in my 2x4x5 with the XS2000. Thanks in advance for the help.
Happy Growing ๐ฑWeek 2

second topping @third weekI would like to perform the second topping on saturday (at the end of the 3rd week) on the two top branches. I've drafted a sign on the picture where the cuts will be made.
Do you think they are ok ? In your opinion the timing is ok ?
ThxTechniques. Topping
