DO NOT TOP AN AUTOFLOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Autoflowers cannot handle the stress that such a technique produces... it will most likely ruin your entire grow. They are pre-programmed to do things at certain times and major stress will interfere with that "program." The MOST you should do is some LST but not for quite a while yet... The diary you saw that mentioned topping was probably growing a photoperiod - they can handle the stress but autos can't. I only grow autos so take a look at any of my diaries if you want...
Good luck!

It's a very easy process. It's basically cutting the top off once the plant has got a few side nodes to let more light hit them side nodes and they become bigger then they would have. But you seem new and you growing an auto so I wouldn't recommend doing it. You will get just as good a yield by doing a little LST throughout the veg period

Hi.
You can cut the top smallest branches.( the pair number 4 if you count from ground)
Once you will do that, plant will start develop all energy to side branches and you will get Bush instead of tall tree.

Autoflower topping?... and if so, when is best?My friend is recommending that I top at the fifth node with the knowledge I'm growing autos.
However, many grower's here discourage it completely for autos.
What's the best practise? I've never topped so this may need spelling out for me.
Thanks in advance ✂️

Topping or LST after 1st toppingLast week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too.
I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?
