I would not recommand it.. BUT, if you decided to do it, better do it before flowers are coming, most of time the stretch start in same time, and your plant sould have recovered from topping before.. Hope i helped you my dear !

Hey dude, you came over to give me some words of encouragement I’m going to do the same. Things are looking good! But I wouldn’t encourage you to top her now as she has just started to “grow” again. You could get away with LST now but my view on topping at this stage is a no. Others may tell you different, you choose bro!

I've topped my autos in the past with good results. Go ahead and do it if you want to. However, I've become a bigger fan of using a FIM Pinch instead of topping recently. The FIM pinch will cause a lot less stress on the plant and still encourage more bud sites. Have fun! 👍

Gents/Ladies, Anyone got any ideas with what I should do with the cola that has stunted growth due to the stem being half broken? I managed to top it, just about... Was thinking if it doesn't decide to grow anymore in a weeks time, I could top the one next to it again?

Defoliation. Yes or No?Want to hear some other opinions on defoliation of fan leaves. Do y'all defoliate or no? Everything I have ever learned about plants tells me not to defoliate. Why would you cut off the plants solar panels that absorb the light and store nutrients to drive photosynthesis?

Is it just me? Or is AN PH Perfect Line of Grow, Micro, Bloom really a bad choice for Autoflowering Hydro Grow.. I've had to supplement Cal/Mag and manage PH because of that. They should release an Auto Specific Nute.

Not sure when it is time to harvest? This is my first grow, and I've looked up some guides, but It is not clear to me whether I should wait for all the colas to have to right color. The main one looks pretty much done, but there are small ones to the sides still completely white.
