I only grow autos and I would never even THINK about topping them... You've got such a finite space of time in which your plant can "do it's thing" - if you stress them out as much as topping would stress them out, you're not going to have good results unless you are an EXPERT grower. The most I've done is LST (with one HST which was an accident)... Autoflowers are pre-programmed... let them do their thing in their own time... Your grow looks absolutely stunning - don't mess with success! 😊

If your auto is a beast and gets to a decent size before preflower kicks in top away i say, if its small n hits preflower dont bother you'll stun the rest of its growth. Thats my thoughts. Hope it helps Cheers

Topping techinque: 4 main colas I'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?

I have a full tent of plants with level trained canopies. I couldn't get Banana Purple Punch B to bend at the top, so I just tied down the side branches. However, I'm afraid of her growing taller than the rest of the canopy. Should I top her?

Outdoor topping?Wondering if I should top my outdoor grow. I have read both directions. Topping will make bushier and seems to be the thing to do indoors. Should I top my outdoor plants? This is my first grow. Or Should I just let them be to flourish?
