Topping my Autos

shipton
shiptonstarted grow question 2 years ago
I am going to try my hand at topping these one - just to see the difference - Plant seems healthy, in week 3 now and is just staring it 5th node - Question is, should I top it soon, and keep the 4 nodes, or let one more and do it at 5?

There is a 4th set of nodes coming up. Idk how you can't see that. The 1st set with the 1 fingered fan leafs, they tend to be very weak. So most experienced growers will remove these "well, growers that have a few grows under them, and know how much they lack compared to their sister nodes". Really, you're in prime position to top her now. The more veg the better. You want to get a top in with an auto within the 1st 2 weeks. And if you remove the 1st set or leave it, you'll have 2 r 3 sets of nodes. You're good to go.

FIRST of all, you don't have 4 nodes, you don't have a full 3 nodes yet.... but beyond that, I presume you've grown this strain before and know when it will go into pre-flower? If that's affirmative, you can TRY to top when she's a week away from going into pre-flower - that ought to give her enough time to recover (maybe)... if you miss the mark, you'll end up not getting any harvest out of her at all... Stick to LST when you're growing autoflowers unless you know precisely what their timing is because you can't change their internal clock....
