High Mahalo, no do not top autoflowers! They do not recover on time!
When you grow a photoperiod it also just depends on the size growroom you've got. When you've got a tall but narrow grow space you do not top. But when you got a low and wide growspace you top. You just make the plant more bushy and less height.
You also need to let the plant recover 1-2 weeks from topping before switching the plant to (Flowering) 12/12 light schedule.
But for autoflowers NEVER top or do any other high stress training technique!!!

LST and ToppingI am starting to feed them nutrients and they are growing faster lately. I am considering starting LST and topping next week. LST when it reaches 4/5 nodes, and topping above the 5th node. Do you have any tips on how to perform this the best way ? Thank you 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?

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?

ToppingSorry - 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?Week 4

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 ✂️

Is it bad to top an autoflower at this stage?I accidentally broke off the top of the plant while attempting to low stress train and now it came like this, kinda like topping.. is it bad to stress the plant this much since it's an auto on week 5? Honestly I think it's a mutant as it has lots of growth but stayed quite small.

Topping Vs Not ToppingMy Green Crack Autoflower just started lst and I have been reading alot of mixed things about topping autoflower.
Would you guys risk topping an autoflower, having it stunt or negatively effect yeild OR
Top it to break the plants apical dominance and therefore create more colas?
