Hi @LockDownGrow I do not like to make top on automatic plants, only if it is a plant with a very vigorous growth outside the normal otherwise they are very small. good luck mate 👍

i made some measurements and usually topping makes less final weight than not topped, the best for final weight is LST , topping's main advantage is that you make a shorter plant in case you need space in these small grow boxes you can buy online. For sure it's just my perspective, but i do believe it's based on something. people will fight me over this but they didnt do the experiment properly so i will let them do it first then talk. Hope this helps ! 🚀

The key to autos is growing them as stress free as possible, zero is your target. Stress causes early Flowering, stunting, legging, all manner of undesirable results. The higher the stress the more likely, not assured at all, the negative outcome. It can of course be done with good results but frankly not seeing the gain over just LST to be worth it.

No topping, autos have such a short grow time, they also dont like the stress, lst, low stress training is the best way to go with autos, helps to increase the yeild
