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.

To top or not to top (Again...would be 2nd time).Should I top 1 more time? I have (Example pic) 4 good nodes at the end of the 2 main branches. Should I top these to allow the ones mid branch to pick up and boost or should I leave them now and just flip in a week or 2? Think they're near end of veg as not putting on any height!

Are the girls ready for flower??Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?

Praying leaves The leaves are stretching up (praying leaves as I understand). It's just 1 day after topping and I would expect some stress, is this a good or bad sign? I fear I might have topped them a bit too early.

Leaves. Curl up
