@Zark002 it really is strain dependent when topping autos
some hate it and will grow slower afterwards others will thrive and create a great yielding plant
now that you have topped it , you can't undo it so just keep providing ideal conditions / lighting etc
and see how it goes .
If it doesn't do as well as you may have liked then you will know for next time

Yeah like Roberts said.
But it’s not the end of the world and what’s done is done. There are growers out there that top autos so no stress. The plant will recover and I’m sure you’ll still have a nice grow.

It's a auto On a short time line. The stress could stun it or cause it to hermi. Might not. Best you can do is ride it out.

Topped the same way with 2 different results?? First time growerI tried to top 2 plants in the same way but one main shoot stopped growing, but the other had two new growths come right out of the old stem, as well as 2 bushier side stems.
I am just wondering what I did differently and if both plants should work out fine.

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 didn’t 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?

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.6y ago
