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.

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?

How and when to train?Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

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?

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?
