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.

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?

Topping/Cloning QuestionI am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.Setup. Clones

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?

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

How and when to train?Hi,
first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?
