Should I top my autos

[Bukka]

This is my first time growing autos. I would like to try my hand at scrogging but I’m not sure if I should top them. Any advice would be helpful. Maybe just let ?

Im growing my first auto garden myself and I topped all of them, bounced back in a couple of days and doing great now.

Good advice about if they are robust and healthy then topping is fine. If they are tall growing sativas and space is limited then possibly top.
I plan to top some of my current batch of autos.

I topped two and FIM'd one (all autos) and they didn't skip a beat.

Only time when it is not good to top autoflowers is when the node spacing is very tight and close together - otherwise it's always fun and adventurous to top and train.

Like everyone says do it if you feel comfortable. I've done it with while they are young and healthy.

Maybe just LST this time to get the feel for the scrog.

What are you going to hold them down with? I use 12 gauge electrical wire. You should do both topping and training at the same time - forget the scrog.

Should I change my lighting schedule during the budding stage of my automatics

No 18/6 all the way Bukka
