it's actually already a bit late to do the topping for an auto, usually you want to clip it a bit early like in week 2, i would suggest simple pinching or a FIM if you want to promote latteral growth. Hope this helps ! 🚀

FIMIN During Flower?
Hey guys. I'm wk 3 in flower and I was just wondering how far into this stage yall will continue to FIM for tops? I have held off for the logic that they need energy for bud form but how far have yall pushed them? Do you have a specific time that you just refuse to touch the girl

Topping
Hi guys. Do my plants need topping if I have little space (60x40x120cm) and I am planning a scrog? Are the plants ready for topping? After topping, I plan to use only lst + scrog, no mainlines/manifolds. I also plan to turn on the lights 12/12 in a week or two. Thanks!

Topping and LST autoflower
I have a 2.5 week old seedling that is only ~3 inches tall, but I just topped/fimmed the 5th node. I plan on starting LST, how long should I wait before tying them down? She is currently in a 3 gallon.

Topping o no hacer nada a esta fotodependiente
I'm debating whether to do Topping or not do anything at all. It's 24 days old. It started in a 3-liter pot and was moved to a 15-liter pot on day 22. It's at the sixth growth node.

First grow question - About that FIM!
This was my first FIM - Can someone please confirm if this is a proper clean cut. Did I remove excess or should I take out more? The two photos are 6 hours apart

Outdoor Auto Training
Any outdoor auto growers out there? What do you recommend for increasing yield? Topping? FIMing? Go au naturale/nothing? Still a couple of weeks before flowering stage.

I FIMed in week 3, and everything seemed to go swimmingly. I don't know that there was any real slowing of growth. I was worried I had taken too much off. Week 4 comes around, and there is top growth like nothing ever happened. Any ideas?

Fimming gone wrong?
Did my Fimming attempt go wrong? I fimmed my plant 5 days ago but for me it seems that it just grows normal, may i've cut too little? should i try again? or should i give it a few more days to finally see the results? Last pic is 5 days ago right after fimming.
