Many different opinions on topping Auto's , plan on doing Lst bending on 1 & possibly topping the 2nd as long as it's growing well & is nice & healthy. Any growers with experience topping Auto's, what are your thoughts & experience's how did it affect yields

Definitely not recommend, the recovery time isn't worth the loss of good growth, just let them do their thing and grow on their own time line, if it takes 3 days to recover then you lost 3 days of good growth, no sense on wasting any time when they're on a timer..

NO lo intentes si no eres un cultivador super experimentado Tienes que tener todos los factores muy controlados para que te salga bien. Si haces topping, seguramente tendrás una planta. Hay Autos que ni llevan bien el LST, asi que imaginate un Topping Eso te puede llevar a planta enana de 15 - 20 centimetros...

I am contemplating something similar next round so researching now. Some strains give you an extra week or 2 in veg. On the diaries page try filtering for autoflower, topped, harvested. I've been using that to get a handle on potential success or failure as well as a tool to narrow down which strains might be able to recover well enough to make it worthwhile. Good luck with your current grow.

Toping or auto,this is a bad idea, their genetics do not have so much time and even in very good conditions, it only lasts right now and there is a high probability that the side colas will not have time to form normally

Topping techinque: 4 main colas I'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

I have a full tent of plants with level trained canopies. I couldn't get Banana Purple Punch B to bend at the top, so I just tied down the side branches. However, I'm afraid of her growing taller than the rest of the canopy. Should I top her?

Suitable growing techniques What would you recommend: low stress training (such as bending, ScrOG) or high stress training (such as topping, fimming) for my strain? I read different things about it.

Topping early at the third node Hi. I have topped two plants above the third node but I don't intend to main-line them. They both had developed four mature nods. Was I too early to top and I cut at the wrong node? Can they develop enough branches to Scrog a 70x70cm grow? They kept growing after the topping
