So since this is my first grow autoflowers is it still okay to top autoflowers or film them? I don't have much experience with the autoflowers.

Yes you can top them! You need to do it early but not too early. Wait till the plant got 5 nodes, cut the highest and the lowest node. This together with LST will give you a great shape plant during the grow. Enjoy your grow!

I heaps prefer to just bend them over but I’ve topped before both intentionally and a weird seedling that topped itself and harvests are very similar. I still prefer bending them over tho just because I think it’s less stressful for the plant

Absolutely top them as early as possible. One of the best training methods for autos since you have a short veg time.

Topping What node do you normally top at and why? Would there be a benefit of any kind by topping at 3 instead of 5 etc?

Show I cut main stem?Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.

Hey Guys! I’m doing two autos - Runtz Auto by Zamnesia. Currently entering the 3 week. They have precisely 15 days from seed. What do you think of topping? Or half topping? Regardless, i found some different answers, positive and negative about this method of training.

Broke Stem branch while main-lining Now it's standing straight up to heal It's still growing and look healthy, but what recovery time should I expect? Will it be strong enough to continue main-lining? Should I just release the other branch? Or wait until it's healed and continue? Thanks for your tips and inputs!

Are the girls ready for flower??Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?

Praying leaves The leaves are stretching up (praying leaves as I understand). It's just 1 day after topping and I would expect some stress, is this a good or bad sign? I fear I might have topped them a bit too early.

I want to top my plants but am new to training. How does it work? Will my plants stop getting taller if I top? When should I top? If I did top now how many top sites would I have? The photo for this question is today (day 18) Thanks in advance.
