Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.
Should I have topped this one a couple days ago? These girls have been very vigorous. The only thing that gave me pause was these miniscule white pistils right here. Can I snip em, you think? Or bad idea? And if yes, should I FIM instead?

Late topping to take direct clone from topping after 8 or 9 nodes?
Late topping to get a decent clone (two nodes) with first topping? What do you guys think, is there a too late for topping? Normaly i top only the tip and take clones later from branches. My girl nr.4 is three weeks behind she could catch up, cutting the clone from branches?

NL #5 x Haze (70% sativa) height control
At what height would you recommend initiating 12/12 to prevent this strain from over-stretching after topping each plant twice to produce four tops? I hope to finish them at 3-4ft. Would I get away starting 12/12 at 9-11 inches?

During LST i accidentaly topped one of my autoflower girl. It is true that topping will slow down the grow of the autoflowers? Will it be slower than the others girls now?

Pistils? Steps from now on?
Hey this is my first plant. Went all good till now. Not the growth i had wished for, but im happy. Day 21 now i see pistils clearly. Isnt it a bit early for pistils, because the plant is relatively small. How should i proceed? LST? Topping an option or is it too late?

ATTENTION!!! Blue dream 420 fastbuds harvesters
Blue dream harvesters I need your help! I was reading the strain info on 420 fastbuds and It looks like they are suggesting to top it! I was under the impression that u won't supposed to top an auto. Have any of u topped this strain with success? I'll be growing this strain next!
