    I top between the 5th and 6th node for autos and photos. I wasn't sure how the autos would respond, but I haven't noticed any negative affects.

    Very interesting thoughts and approaches. Love learning new stuff in here.
    So many different things to try, so little grow time

    I've only ever topped photos and always 1st top above the 3rd node directly under the 4th so I leave on as much offcut as possible. I always wait until I have at least double what I need before topping so cut off 3 nodes of new growth. It slows things down a bit doing it that way but the plants just power on through it.

    My typical grow is Quad or helix Ckbrew, 4 - 8 colas usually. Forgot about Node 0. Waiting for 5th to get up and off with her head. I do 4 in a tent so it works out good. These i think will be tall so i got up and not much out, LOL

    5th node cut back to 4th. Leave a half inch of stalk if you're going to be scrogging so that you don't split the branch when you're training.

    third, fourth, fifty, It all depends on what structure is trying to be made. If manifold is the objective, third. everything else will be striped off. If quad or hexlining, 4 or 5. It all depends on what you want the plant to do.

    I think LemonBud just means after the fifth node cut off the top.

    That’s what I’ve settled on too
    I saw some excellent growers do it after the third but for me that didn’t work out.
    The fifth seems safe, I’ve done autos that way too, as long as they are in excellent heath to begin with

    Oh cool. I love photos. All I've ever grown but I've got 10 auto seeds here and I'm slowly building up the courage to pop 8 of them for a quick auto run in the room...can't afford to drown them like I do with my photos.

    I can't wait to try these. I have ;

    2 "Sweet Mango" from Green House Seeds in Amsterdam, "3rd place “Best Autoflowering” in Expogrow-Irun 2015... https://shop.greenhouseseeds.nl/femi...et-mango-auto/

    I'm yet to decide on the final line up but likely 4 Red CBD x AK47 & 2 Red CBD x Red CBD, both from a highly regarded extremely generous long time breeder in North America

    Photo's Bluey, I haven't figured out auto's yet. LOL . Best beginners i've had in a long time. I usually drown them by now. Getting the hang of it.

    LemonBud are you talking about FIMing.

    I usually top at the 6th node then once the plants are a bit more established I remove the first node completely. I use manifold technique and always find the first node never results in anything worthwhile
