autoflower top or no topping?
massivetidsanswered grow question a year ago
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.

Top now or wait? Growing 4th node.I'm about a week into veg, plants look to be about 4-6 inches tall. Most are going into their 4th node. Should I wait longer or is now a good time? Also, should I wait for all plants to be at around the same stage or should I top the ones that are ready first?

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds).
The description says SCROG and LST work good.
I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier.
I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations.
Should I?

Topping auto northern lightI'm considering topping my northern lights auto one of the following days, as it's starting to grow towards its 4th node. Most diaries I've seen for this strain take 12+ weeks, so that seems like it should have some time to recover from that. Anyone has any experience w auto top?Week 2
