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 Error I made a topping by mistake today. I broke while checking the plant :(( I cut too much from the bottom and also cut a fan leaf. Do you think there is a problem? In this case, is fertilizer given?

Topping Hi! How many main branches are best left after topping? In my last grow I left 8 branches (4 nodes) and it was too difficult to train them. Leaving 4 main branches in "plus" shape would be a good solution? Which option will save me more time (fast veg is important for me)? Thanks

Topping Topping Question: When Topping, tutorials state to wait til you have 4-6 nodes. Does this count the cotyledon leaves, or for that matter the first single serrated leaf? Where do you begin counting nodes? 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.
