Hi SaulGoodman2022, I would advice you to NOT top(HST) autoflowers,but do some LTS(bending) instead. But if you really know what you are doing you can top them like @Hashy said in week 2 or 3 depending on size plant. Goodluck growing :)

Around week 2 week 3. When you have a few nodes coming out is probably the best time. Good luck

Topping Sorry - Another topping / training question: When is the best time to "Top" your plants in regards to time of the day, e.g. morning/midday/night in terms of light schedule? In short: do you cuts your plants when the lights come on, before they go off, or somewhere in between?

Topping auto northern light I'm considering topping my northern lights auto one of the following days, as it's starting to grow towards its 4th node. Most diaries I've seen for this strain take 12+ weeks, so that seems like it should have some time to recover from that. Anyone has any experience w auto top?

Top or lst? And if yes, when?Should i top her and if yes, when? She is a fotoperiod but a very fast one, and she is probably ready to harvest around the beginning of September. She is about 3,5 weeks old now so she doesn't have that much time to grow I think. Same for my other plant, that us an auto.or lst?

Topping Hi! How many main branches are best left after topping? In my last grow I left 8 branches (4 nodes) and it was too difficult to train them. Leaving 4 main branches in "plus" shape would be a good solution? Which option will save me more time (fast veg is important for me)? Thanks
