Topping autos may decrease your yield, because it’s on that clock, it will start to flower with what it’s got when it’s ready, best to lst them and keep them fed nice and healthy so they have a chance to bulk up
If you’re going to top an auto do it when the plant is 21 days from germination.
I've read quite a few articles on wether or not to top autos and the various ways of training them. People all seem to have their own opinions on which way to train the plants and many are for topping and many are against. For these two girls I think I will start with lst and let them grow out (hoping they get to a stage where this can happen) and I will pop 4 more beans as soon as these start flowering and from their try topping and lst and just topping
Im growing 5 autos and my fav and easier to LST manage Is the only one i topped (i did It cause she was growing weirdly otherwise i wouldnt have done It since Is my first grow and dont really know what im doing).
So i guess i will start topping all my plants
Mumps have you got a journal going? I would like to go and check how the growth of your autos is going? More to learn the better
Ya when it comes down to auto bondage I believe @InTheShed is good at them, I'm almost sure he has a short journal on how to train autos...
Thanks smeegs. I had a look at sheds post and it's definitely led me in a good direction as far as lst training (auto bondage ) goes. I will try and simulate his technique there and see how things go.
Thanks so much for everyone popping in and giving feedback. Appreciate it. Just waiting for these girls to get to a height where things can start happening. Don't want to be too hasty. Will update some photos in a few hours.
