Salut ! Je dirais jamais 😅. Les variétés auto ont une période de croissance trop courte pour bien se remettre d’un topping qui va ralentir leur croissance et donc plutôt diminuer le rendement final. Si tu veux en tirer le meilleur, tu devrais plutôt essayer le low stress training, qui te permettra d’exposer à la lumière un maximum de nouvelles pousses et d’obtenir plus de têtes principales. J’espère que ça t’aidera et bonne chance !

Ich würde Autos nicht toppen. LST ist dagegen eine gute Wahl, es kann deine Erträge steigern. Du kannst den Hauptstamm seitlich herunterbinden, um ein gleichmäßiges Baldachin zu bekommen... Viel Glück.

It will grow its biggest and fastest without topping. Topping is not a necessary technique when growing cannabis.

I have topped them plenty of times. Always on the forth node when i do it. You don't have to top them you can lst or leave them be. Best of luck the rest of the way.

should I top some more?I topped once.. from one main high cola I got 4 per plant.. on one plant after LST it seems next small ones are appearing. Should I top again to get more colas? My original plan was to go with SCRoG and I still haven't decided if I'll do it (I think there's still time)

3 weeks in. Fan leaves the size of my hand. Topped today. How long until 2nd topping?Directly planted seeds in organic living soil. These plants are vigorously growing, topped today. By the way things are going I believe that the recovery time will be very short. All organic ingredients. De chlorinated water with vitamin c. Fan leaves are larger then my hand

When do you start topping? Photoperiods need to LST? Can ya'll just go look at my diary and tell me if my ladies look like they should LOL.When to top or LST? Do these look stunted? I'm super curious about methods for best yield. I'm already worried my girls are leggy (but I've gotten some great advise already to let them rest but also give them bigger pots soon). Planted March 20th. Pictures from today.

Leaves. Too few

Topping an auto flower I want to top the big wedding cake but I'm worried I waited too late and at the rate she is growing I think she is an auto (wasnt supposed to be). Should I go ahead and top her or just let her go? I have read lots of mixed reviews about topping autos.

LST after Topping When would you start doing LST after doing a topping? I have topped about 3 days ago now, and have good growth from the new sites, about 1/2 inch of stock coming from the tops. Worried if I LST a little too early those new tops might not be grown enough yet!
