Don't top autoflower! but you can LTS them, i would even recommend you to LTS. Google how to LTS or ask us in a new question :) I laughed about the Bulbasaur LOVE IT! Goodluck growing :)

People who say you cant top an auto are full of shit. Yes you can top that auto it's the perfect time for an auto. I have topped them with great results. Cheers!

As @growinggrannie put it. You can be lucky and not slow the plant or stunt the plant but you have to have a real healthy plant for it not to get to stressed. If you feel it's healthy growing quickly then you may be fine. I have topped autos and had mixed results. So my advice would be just to train her as low and flat as possible. If you look at my diaries I have autos that I topped and Lst.

You should never top an autoflower! The stress of that harsh technique could stop them completely and you'll end up with nothing.... LST, HSL, Scrog, SOG... anything BUT topping/fimming. Good luck...

Which node is number 1 When counting nodes for the first topping, which node is number 1? The cotyledons? First single serrated leaf? 1st 3 fingered leaf? I'm counting pairs of leaves as those are where the nodes are, just not sure which to count as number 1. Personally, i say first 3 fingered leaf

Topped the same way with 2 different results?? First time grower I tried to top 2 plants in the same way but one main shoot stopped growing, but the other had two new growths come right out of the old stem, as well as 2 bushier side stems. I am just wondering what I did differently and if both plants should work out fine. Video to show...

First time topping My second grow ever (and first photo period attempt) involves these White Widows. I want to top these at least twice. Currently have 3 multi leaf nodes. When's a good time to do the first - and then the second - topping? I've heard several opinions. Maybe I could do 3? Thx
