To top or not to top

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.

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.

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

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
