    Looking for Auto's topping guide

    I see Rockman has a new grow going and I believe he topped his auto after the 2nd node, for auto's is that a normal time to top.

    Part two, so now "There are now 4 main branches which I plan to keep real low, and let them split in two. Time will tell!" Do you now top those other 4 after 2 more nodes develope or just let it go from here and keep it at one topping?

    Best to only top once on an auto...my $.02

      I would listed to greenie mate.......he knows his shit lol.....are you trying for a manifold?......autos have a set timescale so topping more than once can slow your plant down and hurt yields.....conversely some growers believe you shouldn't top autos......maybe they should join GWE πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸŒ±πŸŒΏπŸŒ²πŸ˜‚πŸ˜ƒ
      The more I know, the better I grow.

        My 2c is to not top autos at all
        completed 7 grows
        what I have learned so far:
        environment maters more than nutrients
        at least a dab of nutrients in every watering
        effective flushing before harvest is critical to quality

          Thanks Green and everyone -- I really just wanted to know or get an Idea what or how most people handle topping auto's.

          I know some of you guys take things to the extreme and push the limits, lol.

          The other thing was that if you look at some of the seed sellers specs, some auto's take 2 or 3 weeks longer to harvest than others, so I was thinking that there may be enough time on though longer auto's to get one more topping in.

          Thanks for all the replies.

            Howdy partner...nice to get a mention on my recent experiment with an auto. Yes, it was an early topping for me to try, but so far the results look super. This will be the only topping. Those 4 main arms now are sending out sideshoots, and I am going to allow 2 per arm to grow up (spreading them out as well). No more topping necessary...just letting the then 12 growing points develop into my colas. I'm looking forward to seeing how this works! 😊
