Grow QuestionsLST/Topping for autoflowers?

LST/Topping for autoflowers?

J_bon3started grow question 2 years ago

Growing an afghan kush auto and a skunk villain auto (both 5 gal pots) in a snug 2.5 x 2.5. Wanting a uniform height I wasn't sure if I should top and/or train either- was thinking LST for the Skunk? Would also like to keep height mod. without sacrificing too much on the harvest.

I topped autos many times because I used a long but low closet and they always recovered fine. But you can't just choose to let them recover the way that you want. So when you've got the space and height I would recommend LST and just bend the higher branches down so that the lower branches will grow at the same height and for that recieve the same light from your lamp. Happy Growing! 😋

Although some people successfully top autos, it's really not recommended... LST and scrogging would be the techniques you should consider first.. Autos have a set schedule inside them and major stress can disrupt that... they really don't have TIME to recover from it... Good luck!

Removing popcorn buds and small bottom branches/flowers on Week10 Hi guys, Day66 with my autoflower, 3 more weeks to go before harvest. This is my 1st grow so I didn’t do too much besides LST. No topping, no fimming etc. Is it safe to remove the popcorn buds from the bottom and some small branches that don t reach light? Will this hurt her? Ty

To Top or not to Top....So I plan to put in a screen and land up with a level canopy, hopefully. Is it absolutely necessary to top your plants? (I’m nervous of messing it up like the noob I am) And do my plants look ready to top? And do they look ok otherwise?Thank you

Looking to top all of these. When’s the best time? Wanting to train for colas, but don’t want to stunt the tap root before it gets to the bottom of the pot.

General feedback Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, to me the plant looks healthy, however it is a bit small considering it’s age, right? I’m thinking it may be because of the cheap ‘300W’ light I was using at the beginning of the grow. What do you guys think? (Video end of week 6)
