Topping LSD-25 Auto?
Hashyanswered grow question 1y ago
I'll weigh in on this question. Iv grown this strain multiple times and done different training methods, and the best method was to let her do her thing. Topping really stressed the strain. Hst really stressed them. Normal simple LST was also fairly stressful. I'll be completely honest, this strain seemed to be the most finicky strain I've ever grown. Great smoke, just very temperamental. It's up to you what you do with the plant but from my experience and answers before mine just let her do her own thing.

High 420Senpai, the reason for not topping an autoflower is because it does not have enough time to recover like a photo period strain does. For this reason it will only decrease yield. My advice is to lowstress the plant to create the same benefits as topping a plant without harming it and the need for time to recover. Simply bend the main top down to the same height as the buds below. This is the best technique for autoflowering strains. Happy Growing Buddy! 💚

I grew both autos topped and not topped and from my past experiences I would not top.. if you top the plant is gonna be shaped with all top buds growing same size and same distance from the lights, if you do not sometimes its hard to get that but with lst you can do too.. however I think topping you lose a really good bud that could count in the end yield pf your harvest..

Can topping be done with an Auto, yes.
Should you? In my opinion, no.
You are at a race against time to grow as much as you can before flowering. Topping it sets you back just to try to even the plants growth but there are better ways to do this like LST. Bend the plant using tie downs.
Topping could make the plant stress too much and force it into an early flower which you do not want.
Hope this helps.

i would not top, i would manipulate with lst, supercroping, lolipoping. think thats better way to extract max weight, while keeping bud quality

Top or lst and whenShould i top her and if yes, when? She is a fotoperiod but a very fast one, and she is probably ready to harvest around the beginning of September. She is about 3,5 weeks old now so she doesn't have that much time to grow I think. Same for my other plant, that us an auto.or lst?Week 3
