Grey_Wolfanswered grow question 3 years ago
@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

I have topped my autos before with great success.
I would not do any more HST or pruning though. autos can be very sensitive to this and go into shock.
Shock is stunted growth and early flower.
Use LST when the new growth starts to fill in.
Best Of Luck!

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.

Light distance and when to top?I'm using a 300W LED. What distance should I keep the lights at now that I've transplanted and the plants are doing well? I'm thinking 24" and then move up as they grow until flipping. Also, when should I top? I've read that waiting for 6-8 nodes is the right way to go.

ToppingSorry - Another topping / training question: When is the best time to "Top" your plants in regards to time of the day, e.g. morning/midday/night in terms of light schedule?
In short: do you cuts your plants when the lights come on, before they go off, or somewhere in between?Week 4

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.

Is it bad to top an autoflower at this stage?I accidentally broke off the top of the plant while attempting to low stress train and now it came like this, kinda like topping.. is it bad to stress the plant this much since it's an auto on week 5? Honestly I think it's a mutant as it has lots of growth but stayed quite small.

Outdoor Topping Limit?Hey Gromies! My outdoor girls still have till October to grow. They are in 10 gallon smart pots in the ground to combat the high temps here. I'm hoping to keep them under my fence line but I'm starting to think I'll need to top them all a second time. Will that be an issue?
