    Topping stems

    Hey there... I've got two autos going, Bruce banner and gorilla zkittles. I normally top the main stem after 5 sets of leaves. Do you then top the the main branches? When? If so.

      I am asking a question. I have topped most plants auto or photo with success..
      I just see comments here suggesting topping branches and looking for suggestions.

    If you’re going to top an auto, which may or may not be a good idea , top the main stem once thats it. Yes 5th node is about right.
    Maybe top one plant and leave the other and see which turns out better.

    read these from the main site

    by Nebula Haze Yes, you can top an auto-flowering plant that is growing fast and healthy. For example if it has grown at least 4-5 nodes (pairs of "real" leaves) by the end of week 2. Otherwise it may not be growing fast enough to handle topping without getting stunted. Read on to learn more!


    ...tent will be left alone to grow naturally. Wait until the seedling has grown 6 nodes (sets of “real” serrated leaves), hopefully around week 3. If the plant grows any...

        I top my autos. Other people would disagree. That is the only topping I do for an auto. They don't have time to recover like a photo. That said, it is your grow, if you want to do multiple toppings go for it and post the results. You never know what results may come from a radical departure from the norm.
        Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.

          I experimented topping two autos out of three Santa Marta Haze this past summer. The two plants I topped produced a lot more bud.
          I will probably top all my autos moving forward.
