Topp Automatics ?
00110001001001111Oanswered grow question 5 months ago
not the best idea to cut things off an autoflower -- you have limited vegetative growth and no control over it.
If you take off a little nub, not much of a loss. If you take off 2-3 nodes of growth, that's lost yield more times than not. Better to train it in a good shape. DLI and canopy = yield. Training just distributes it more evenly across plant.

To top or not to top (Again...would be 2nd time).Should I top 1 more time? I have (Example pic) 4 good nodes at the end of the 2 main branches. Should I top these to allow the ones mid branch to pick up and boost or should I leave them now and just flip in a week or 2? Think they're near end of veg as not putting on any height!Week 5

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?4 years ago
