Thx man I'll look into some super thrive. Do you know when the best time to top an auto is?

Do not top an auto. They have a predetermined life cycle and this will slow growth for a short, but precious few days.

Well i disagree, theres lots of autogrowers on this site and the concensus seems to be topping is beneficial.

After 3rd or 4th set of true leaves. Usually around day 14-20. At least that's the trend I've seen.

Topping is very beneficial. What I've read, in the cannabis grow bible and in the topping tutorial on grow weed easy .com, is that due to the shorter life of an auto flowering strain you are shortening the amount of time the plant has to grow. I am in no way an expert, im simply sharing my opinion based on research I have done.

This is a plant that was topped several times and as you can see she's doing great, but she's not a ruderalis aka auto flowering strain.

I would recommend some LST.

Most autos are completely done with vegetative growth by week 6 so if you top a tad early then your plant may not recover in time to grow the necessary branch structure to live up to her full potential. You can not change when an auto begins flowering so it is best, from what I've read, to train instead of top. That's the last I will say about that. I'm gonna stick around and see how things go regardless. Good Luck budz.

Topping an auto is risky but saying that I saw a journal where he was abusing his Girl Scout cookies autoflower and I mean LST, topping, lollipoping and everything and he got 6-8 ounce a plant so I'd recommend nice an early so there's time to recover

I think a lot of that info is a couple of years old, a lot of autos can go as long as the average photo. Topping and lst will work a charm on a lot autos.

I def agree that some of that info is outdated. I have the grow bible and while it's a great book it barely mentions the use of leds for grows.
That being said I don't think I'm going to top this plant I think I stunted her early on with over watering and low humidity. So I'll try my hand at lst but I'm not sure where to begin she's so squat and compact.
Should I begin trying to bend the top over so the lower growth can catch up??

Day 17 here and I just fed her for the first time at half strength of ff nutes. She's looking very healthy and starting to smell very delicious .. Is it common to see pistils at this time? Not sure if you can tell from the pictures?

Day 24
Sorry i havent been posting too much, been swamped with work. Shes doing her thing though and looking healthy. Finally got my new tent and her settled in. She looks way too lonely in a 3x3 i didnt think that purchase through very well haha. I still need to get a exhaust fan and filter because shes starting to stink up the room.
I just fed her today with the fox farms trio, I probably should have asked someone on here but i did start to feed her tiger bloom at 1/2 strength since shes had pistils for almost 2 weeks. Havent been doing too much training mostly just tucking fan leaves to expose bud sites. Guess that it for today.
