Well, it's too early for starters if you top now, you'll only end up having to keep topping and, if u are having trouble now then wait till it grows at least 5 nodes and top above the 4th or u could even do the above the 5th and that have to keep topping that's what I did with my zkittlez hydro and it's taken off. 9cm last wk in 7d sane again this wk in 4 days. Anyways best of luck. Just make sure when you are topping that you don't take the tiny little shoots that are above the fan leafs that's your next node. Leave a little bit extra on the stem, so jst cut right under 5th nodes fan leafs.but if u wait to top u won't have any probs telling what's what even for a beginner. Happy growing. Good luck

Yeah I would have already topped it. All these people saying never top an auto are most likely dirt growers and dont understand the method you're using. I have several auto diaries that were topped and you can see the yield they usually put off.

This is your grow, do what you want to do, Lot of good pros and cons in this question as to why some growers top and others don't. If you need any other help hit up your DM's your inbox is that little green arrow in the bottom right corner. Good Luck!

NO AUTOS LIKE TOPPING. Listen to experience over a keyboard grower that gives bogus internet research answers.

Dont top it. just dont. Theres always one person who says you can, and then 6 pple who say dont...So go with what most of us are saying and dont top it. LST it yes, but dont cut an auto ever. Like ever ever.

Do not top your auto... they don't have enough time , and it is too stressful. Simply LST her to improve light on inside of plant. If In soil do not go cutting. If you need more information on lst. I have a diary called Larry lemon auto. I did a daily picture from seed to smoke. Picture was taken after lst each day. It was grown in a hydro soil. and just lst and defoliation at times. She produced over a qp dry. I have a profile full of autos I lst with results. Best results with autos is grown in a hydroponic setting. Be it hydro soil, soiless, coco, or a dwc etc. They grow faster, and bigger. I still don't top. If I ever did it was a accident, and it broke off. So I avoid it. Would be my advice after growing a bunch of them over last few years. Good luck and happy growing. If you need more assistance feel free to contact me after selecting my answer. Happy growing 🌱

I personally would. Not saying you have to. It's a very nerve racking thing. But worry not. It will stunt growth a little, but it will stunt growth no matter when you top her. But an auto in its third week is getting late. And you don't want to top during bloom cycle which will happen anytime.

If you are nervous about it, why top? It is not essential and your plant will grow faster without going through the trauma of being topped. A bit of gentle LST is all you need to do.

Could be done, I'd wait another week though. Not all auto strains like to be topping and others are more a fan of LST. growdiaries.com/explore this is a list of all blue dream autos linked to fast buds seeds select the tag "topped" from the menu or "FIM" or "HST", Its not the best search function so do each one individually vs stacking them. as it will limit diary to only the ones who selected all the tags in their weekly updates. 336 total grows. 86 topped 15 fim'd 16 mainlined 28 HST Good Luck!
