@WeedDude
Let it grow another set of leaves then do your first topping so it can recover from the recent stress

Top the plant again or not?
Hello growers, I have a question, I already top this 2 plants and I’m doing lst, and later I’ll use the scrog, but can I top it again? Should I do it or isn’t worth it? I read it could lower the finally quantity yield, and that is some stress to the plant. Is it worth?

Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.
Should I have topped this one a couple days ago? These girls have been very vigorous. The only thing that gave me pause was these miniscule white pistils right here. Can I snip em, you think? Or bad idea? And if yes, should I FIM instead?

Suitable growing techniques
What would you recommend: low stress training (such as bending, ScrOG) or high stress training (such as topping, fimming) for my strain? I read different things about it.

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.
First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused! It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM? Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?

Grow strategy for 2 ILGM Purple Punch Autos
I'm told this is a bushy strain and I might want to top the plant? Suggestions? If so when/how? Should I split strategies between 2 plants to see whats better for this strain? I know I'm probably over thinking it. But come on you remember when you first started. :)

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?
Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

autoflower top or no topping?
So since this is my first grow autoflowers is it still okay to top autoflowers or film them? I don't have much experience with the autoflowers.
