Howdy. Long story short, majority of auto growers do not FIM or top and prefer to get their results through pure LST. As there is no control on when an auto decides to flip to flower, topping or FIM'ing at the wrong time can mean no recover time. No recovery and they may get very under-developed mains and bud sights, lower yield etc... If this was the plan all along and you want to experiment with topping autos (growers have been very successful in doing so) then go for it👍. But if this is your first run (I'm not sure if this is your first grow) then playing it safe with LST is the way to go. You can accomplish the same results with LST, thankfully. I even use auto LST techniques on my photo-periods because of how well they work. I have a photo period blue cookies, trained like an auto with zero topping, just pure LST. She is the biggest frigging girl in the tent, and the other's ain't small....! lol. Anyways, I'll stop there. I wish you luck no matter what way you go with this. No matter what you choose though, couldn't hurt to through a quick bend in there when she's tall enough😉. You won't regret it.👍

Hi Asegrower Your answer is my way so only look In to my diaries. I have been topping every Grow Autoflowers. And I recommend to top as early as possible Autoflower. If you decide to do so. Very early topping Benefits -This way the recovering much quicker. -They have smaller wounds to hell. -Time is crucial with Autoflowers. - very thick steam from the start -Autoflower stretch maximum to week 7 -early topping enough time to recover and stretch - keeps your plants low And bushy. - allows for better LST and spreading the canopy more Evenly Tip cover cut with painters tape. Will recover quicker. Looks your plant is healthy, Mate so I think that's enough to get you Topping mate. Like suggested above try to not over water them. It's time for your girls to get bushy. Good luck And happy Growing.

If you're worried about it, you have 5 plants in your tent, why not try a different technique on each plant, best way to learn! I've topped autos with no issues at all (check my sour orange and ggg's) but most importantly try to keep them the same height for lighting reasons. Lst is the least amount of stress but the most work involved. But personally I'm not sure which is my favourite yet, I have topped, mainline and lst. I'm favouring towards lst only. 🌱👍
