Auto flower top or not to top?

Topping is a source of stress, but is ok with the feminized because they have the time to overcome the stress becoming even more productive. Autos have a pre determinate time to finish the cycle, so every stress they face is gonna take away health time to grow. in my experience with autos few few times a topping gave me decent results, I found a lot more useful and productive just to train the main cola down. good luck!

If it's growing very strong, and keeping on veg for long time it's ok to top. but only after 3 or 4 weeks.

Im with peter sage on this one. I think that if you want a higher yield, then lst or/and scrogging (i am personally now trying to scrog a couple of autos) are the directions you maybe wanna take. Ernest also mentioned unpredictability, that is so true, so better to put all chances on your side. Good luck!

No. No. No. No.... autoflowers rarely have time to recover from such a stressful technique and you'll be left with a plant that does not do anything. Stick to LST for autos! Good luck!

If it's less than 3 weeks old, sure. Anything older than that is too old, considering the recovery time the plant would take and how unpredictable autoflowers are.

Did I wait too long to top?I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?
