@Lilman, I’m no expert by any means so any advice is from my limited experience. I’ve topped a couple of my autos with success. I had a Auto OG Kush plant that’s suggested height was higher than my box could handle so I topped her and had success. It’s pretty risky with Autos because you can’t control the veg part or any part for that matter (they have a mind of there own!?!?!?! :eyes::ghost: ooooo creepy haha) so if you do it wrong it could be dentirmental to your plant and yeild. I’ve seen a couple start to flower after they were topped which isn’t good. At the same time some strains respond beautifully to topping so it’s preference and what your comfortable with. Personally if your growing FastBuds I wouldnt top her. There genetics are off the charts. There are also other ways to limit your girls height. For instance throwing a trellis net up or scrOG net (google scrOG net cannabis and click images). There are tons of methods to keep her shorter with out topping her. So I would say it depends on your circumstances. What’s your reasoning for it? Small grow box?

@TeflonDonFarms, man every bit of advice counts aye thanks:grin:, and yeah from doing bit of research seem pretty risky if you don't time it right. But saying that gotta risk it for the biscuit Haha. I'm thinking I might give the scrog a go because I've never done scrog, I was going to scrog those plant you've just seen but didn't think it'd fill it, aswell as I had a regular seed in there and didn't want it to turn male and have to pull it all down (which it did turn male haha so lucky). I'm running a 1.2m2 by 2m high so it's not to bad, was just thinking of trying to make as many colas as I can. I'm going to be running couple in 20l air pots and couple in 15l plastic pots but thinking of buying couple more air pots since I've had really good success with the one I have in it atm.

@Lilman, I hear so much for and against it. I've personally done both and I couldn't tell you a difference. I personally believe that any benefits people get from it are purely psychosomatic. I don't personally think it does anything but there are people who swear by it. If you'd like give it a try for yourself.

@DabCrab, thanks mate means alot, same I'm keen to see what weight it produces as well the smoke. I'm thinking harvest will be within the week, so should have a report up with in the couple of weeks :grin::+1: quick question what's your thoughts on doing a dark period before harvest? Does it boost them crystal up or not worth it.
